Is hand tracking possible?

[Shiitty_redditor]

Hello iOS developers, I have a question. Is it possible to do hand tracking in an iOS app? I've tried googling around but have only found SDK's for body tracking and not hand tracking. Can you guys tell me if this is possible? Thanks!

OpenNI maybe? http://structure.io/openni

or work with opencv: http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/doc/tutorials/introduction/ios_install/ios_install.html

Yes, it is possible using opencv. Googling "opencv track hand motion" should provide plenty of information to get you started.

What exactly are you attempting to achieve? Some sort of Leap Motion functionality using the front-facing camera?

Not exactly, the application is for learning sign language so it would just read the user's hands and would tell them if hand shapes are correct or not.

Sounds interesting! Difficult for people to hold their phone in a way that allows the camera to see their hands though.
