(1/3). "AI is making us Dumb!". "AI is making us anxious!". We hear it everywhere. And somewhere in the noise we've forgotten that AI was never there to replace us but to guide our minds.
Think back to the battlefield of Kurukshetra (from Hindu epic Mahabharata).
Arjuna — the greatest warrior of his age — stood frozen. Not because he lacked skill, but because his emotions had overtaken his intelligence. Fear, doubt, confusion. He was ready to abandon his duty.
Lord Krishna — his Sarthi (charioteer) — didn't fight the war for him. He gave Arjuna something greater: clarity, courage, and the wisdom of the Gita.
Today, we stand on our own battlefield. Faster. Louder. More overwhelming than ever. And once again, we're frozen — caught between confusion and fear. And this time 'Sarthi' is here to help us go and grow through it.

🚀 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 #𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻
What started as a simple idea became an experiment in accessibility and human-centered design.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺:
Millions of people communicate through gestures every day, but most technology is built for voices, keyboards, and touchscreens.
I wanted to explore a different question:
"What if technology could learn how people already communicate?"
That's how Silent Bridge was born.

1️⃣ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝗴𝗺𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲
I designed and generated the entire experience directly in Figma Make, focusing on accessibility, simplicity, and a premium user experience.
2️⃣ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
Instead of traditional inputs, I wanted users to communicate through gestures using real-time camera tracking.
3️⃣ 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀
MediaPipe tracks hand landmarks and understands gesture positions and movement patterns.
4️⃣ 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
Users can:
• Record a gesture
• Assign a meaning
• Save it
The system learns and recognizes custom gestures.
5️⃣ 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲
Supabase stores:
• Gesture recordings
• Saved phrases
• Recognition history
6️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆
Users can build and share their own visual language instead of relying only on predefined gestures.
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲
Before testing, clear existing custom gestures from the Teach page.
For best results:
• Open Teach Sign
• Remove all test gestures
• Record gesture
• Assign phrase
• Test recognition

• MediaPipe Hands
• Supabase
This project is not about AI.
It's about accessibility.
It's about allowing technology to adapt to people instead of forcing people to adapt to technology.
Because every gesture has meaning.

I love this work man! Now I can even create my own language with hand sign 😅, gonna use it when my girl will mad at me 😋
Kumo — Interactive Matcha Tea Landing Page UI-UX
Choosing a drink online is often a flat and boring experience — static product cards don’t convey taste, freshness, or emotion. For a premium product like matcha, this makes it harder to stand out and convert.
This animated landing page for Kumo turns product selection into an interactive and sensory experience. Instead of reading long descriptions, users visually explore flavors through motion, ingredients, and composition.
yummy =)
So good 😍
