Alert-Behavior 1

No project description provided

Introduction: This package alerts the users if they happen to touch their mouth and nose while working in the computers. Some people develop unwanted habits such as nose picking and nail biting while working all day long in computer without thier attention. This package can help them destroy such habits by alerting right on time. This package bears more importance in the light of ongoing COVID pandemic.

Pre-requisites: You should have your webcam connected to your computer and it should be fully functional. You should also have python program installed into your computer. How to install python? Check this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rx_JRkwAjY&ab_channel=ProgrammingKnowledge2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gTCQCT_930&ab_channel=TechMeSpot

Concept: This package utilizes a very powerful pacakge called mediapipe to detect landmarks in face and fingers. These landmarks have unique ids and their local coordinates can easily be retrieved using pacakges like cv2. The distance between these landmarks can be calculated and analyzed to trigger an event such as making a beep sound.
