This is amazing I had a browser plugin called flutter years back that was able to do webcam gesture recognition for scroll and forward/back. This is using threejs so I wonder how much is CPU or GPU and also how well this could, now or in the future, run under the hood in the background of a web game (or WebXR!) just as the input device and without too much overhead. Great Proof of Concept !!

Thanks for the nice words! Your plugin sounds like fun. In terms of using hand tracking for web games: my next experiments will use this setup to interact with 3D scenes.
Looking forward to where you take this, and just to clarify I was just an end user of Flutter but was checking for a link (I had this installed years back) and turns out they got aquired by Google[1] so could be somewhere in Lense for all I know!
