Hey , this is my submition to the makeathon I built a hands-free text editing interface using real-time hand tracking.
The idea is simple: instead of clicking, dragging, and using toolbars, you navigate and edit a document using gestures in front of your camera.
The system allows you to:
Scroll through a document continuously without touching the screen
Enter an edit mode using a dedicated gesture
Select text in real time using both hands
Trigger AI-powered transformations on the selected content
Compress information (summarize)
Expand and enrich text with additional context and research
This project explores how spatial interaction can redefine productivity tools
Built with Figma Make.

This is a fascinating interaction model. Gesture-based editing could dramatically reduce friction in certain workflows. Curious how you handled gesture accuracy vs. unintended inputs?

Haha fair — AI assist is getting scary good. Though I’m still curious how much of that can be made deterministic without introducing gesture noise.
