While it may be a natural and comforting behaviour for young kids, it can lead to dental and speech problems if not addressed timely. I developed FingerPy, a Python application that encourages children to stop sucking their thumbs by controlling video playback with hand gestures.</p> <h3 id="introducing-fingerpy">Introducing FingerPy</h3> <p>FingerPy uses computer vision to detect hand gestures and control video playback. When a child places their thumb near their head, FingerPy pauses the video, and playback resumes when they move their thumb away. This smart approach makes breaking the thumb-sucking habit a fun and interactive experience and helps children become more aware of their behaviour while watching videos.</p>
