Airpoint is a tiny open source SDK that adds touchless hand control to any web app with just a webcam, no extra hardware. npm install @airpoint/sdk, point it at a tag, and your users can move a cursor, click, and scroll with their hand. Powered by AirMouse, our in-house ML model (97.7% accuracy, ~1ms inference, runs entirely in the browser).
I've been obsessed with touchless interfaces, but every time I tried to build one for the web I hit the same wall: writing your own gesture detection on top of hand landmarks is a nightmare. Pinch thresholds that work for my hand but not my coworker's. "Clicks" that fire every time someone scratches their nose. Hours of trial and error for something that still felt flaky.
So we spent the last year doing the unglamorous work of collecting and hand-labeling a gesture dataset, training a TCN model, getting it down to ~1ms per frame in the browser, and wrapping the whole thing in an SDK that takes one npm install.
Today you can drop Airpoint into any web app and your users get a real cursor they can move with their finger, click with a pinch, and scroll with their hand. No extra hardware, no native app, just a webcam.
The SDK is Apache-2.0 and free forever. The ML model (AirMouse) is what funds the project, grab a license at: https://airpoint.app, or use the SDK with raw landmark events to build your own gestures.
A few things I'd genuinely love feedback on:
What would you build with it? What's the gesture you wish worked but doesn't?
