HovrPad^© Gesture Guide

Overview Free Gestures Pro Gestures Keyboard Shortcuts

Overview

HovrPad uses your webcam to track your hand in real time and translate hand gestures into mouse and keyboard actions. No physical mouse or keyboard is required for core navigation. You can use Mouse/Keyboard along with Gestures also, for a better experience.

Gestures are detected from both hands using landmark tracking. The system recognises the positions of your fingertips, knuckles, and thumb to classify gestures every frame.

💡 Tip: You can always practice all gestures in Training Mode, accessible through the app's Settings screen.
