🍥 What if Naruto’s Rasengan could actually be controlled with your hands?

As a kid, it was just something I saw in anime.

This time, I decided to see if I could bring that idea to life with Python.

So I built Naruto Hand VFX Studio — a real-time computer vision project where hand gestures control:

🔵 Rasengan ⚡ Chidori 🔥 Fireball 💥 Energy Beam

And the interesting part?

These aren’t pre-recorded effects.

Using Python, OpenCV, MediaPipe, and NumPy, the system tracks my hand movements and generates the VFX in real time.

What started as a fun Naruto idea turned into a project where I got to combine computer vision, hand tracking, gesture recognition, animation logic, and procedural VFX in one application.

My setup isn’t a professional studio. But this project reminded me that you don’t always need a perfect setup to build something interesting.

Sometimes, you just need an idea — and the willingness to build it.

Hi everyone!

I'm new here, so I wanted to introduce myself.

I learned the basics of Python about two years ago, and a year ago I started a degree in AI and Data Science. I'm currently in my third semester, and I'm focused on developing my programming and data skills while building my first real-world experience.

For now, I'm looking to contribute to smaller tasks such as data cleaning, data analysis, automation, and logical scripting. I don't expect to jump directly into complex projects; my goal is to help with the work I can handle while learning how software and data projects actually work in the industry.

I'm also very interested in how AI fits into programming. In my personal projects, I try to use AI primarily as a learning and reasoning tool rather than as a replacement for understanding or writing the code myself. I like using it more as a Socratic teacher: asking questions, challenging my reasoning, explaining concepts, and helping me find mistakes.

At the same time, I recognize that AI is becoming almost indispensable in modern development. But I believe that understanding the fundamentals is just as important. I want to learn how things work, not simply how to get an AI to produce them.

Currently, I'm working on a physics simulator as a personal project. It's still a work in progress, but I hope to share my progress here in the future.

I'm here to learn, contribute, and get a better understanding of what working in the industry is actually like. If there are small tasks where I can be useful while continuing to learn, I'd be happy to help.

Best regards!
