CAM BOARD

Welcome to the CAM BOARD project! This project leverages computer vision and hand-tracking technology to create a virtual drawing board using a webcam. Users can draw on the screen using different colors simply by moving their hands in front of the camera. The project utilizes OpenCV for image processing, MediaPipe for hand-tracking, and Python for implementation.
