AirDesk Turns a Webcam into a Windows Pointer
A Windows preview app uses local hand tracking to move, click, double-click, drag, and scroll across the screen through a standard webcam.
Field notes
AirDesk maps webcam-captured hand landmarks to pointer direction and a compact gesture vocabulary. A pause fills a circle for clicking, a forward jab produces a double-click, and a held push followed by a drawn line scrolls in four directions. The site says tracking stays local, with no camera recording or cloud model in the pointer loop. Users can practise on the home screen, edit assignments in Settings, and verify the Windows preview download with SHA-256.
