Wave to Turn the Page — A Hands-Free Recipe Reader That Runs Entirely on Your Laptop

Have you ever had both hands covered in dough, egg, or engine grease, needed the next step of the instructions, and had to either wipe your hands or smear a screen?

This project turns your own laptop camera into a page-turner that responds to a plain thumbs-up, so you can build your first real computer-vision program around a problem you already have — and learn why a camera that reacts instantly is almost always wrong until you teach it to wait.

What you'll do

A single Python program on your own laptop — written by Claude Code — that shows one step of a recipe at a time in big readable letters, watches your hand through the built-in webcam, and moves forward, backward, or starts a step timer when you hold up a thumbs-up, thumbs-down, or open palm. Every frame is recognized on-device by a downloaded model, no frame is ever saved or uploaded, and a keyboard fallback works even when the camera cannot see you.
