PyArt Sandbox is an interactive gesture-based playground that turns your webcam into a creative tool. It uses real-time hand tracking to let you draw ASCII art, take snapshots, and interact with different visual effects just by moving your hands. It’s like a virtual whiteboard, sketchpad, and camera controller — all controlled without touching your keyboard. Features include: ASCII Art Mode: Turns your webcam feed into live ASCII art. Gesture Controls: 👍 = More detail 👎 = Less detail ✊ (fist) = Take a snapshot Color Output Mode: Displays stylized, colorized visuals. Modular sandbox: Easy to expand with new gesture tools or visual I built this using Python, OpenCV, and Each gesture triggers a different visual mode or action. I structured it in a modular way so it can be easily extended — like adding mini-games or more creative filters later. I spent about 5 hours coding the core, but it’s still a growing sandbox I plan to keep experimenting with.

Basically, it takes your live video and applies all sorts of trippy effects - ASCII art, kaleidoscope patterns, edge detection, you name it. You can control everything with hand gestures (which is surprisingly fun) or voice commands if you're feeling fancy. I made it with pygame, mediapipe, scipy, imutils and more i used python for it. I did use ai to write some of the explaining documents (had wrote them before but then my laptop broke before i could commit and did not want to go through that all again so i appologize for that)
