Semaphore is a Python application that turns your full body into a keyboard using flag semaphore gestures. It uses OpenCV and MediaPipe pose detection to read body landmarks from a webcam and translates arm and leg positions into keystrokes.

Use cases

  • type letters using full-body semaphore gestures
  • control a computer keyboard with webcam pose detection
  • experiment with gesture-based text input
  • build accessibility input methods using body movements
  • demo computer vision pose tracking projects

When to choose

  • you want a fun, experimental webcam-based gesture keyboard
  • you need hands-free typing driven by body poses
  • you want a Python/OpenCV/MediaPipe starting point for gesture input projects

When to avoid

  • you need fast, reliable everyday text entry
  • you require production-grade accessibility software
  • you need Windows or Linux keyboard support out of the box without modifications
