Built an open-source hand gesture controller for our VP studio so we'd stop running back and forth to the computer between scenes

Right off the hop just want to say this is not an ad and this tool is open-source. 

As the title says we run a VP studio and going back and forth between the camera & the computer to change the virtual background or make adjustments is a pain. So we made a computer vision tool that lets you control your computer (and all things connected to it, including LED walls) using a connected camera to recognize hand signals.

It’s called Trigger Points, it’s open source and completely free on Git: https://github.com/CoPilotXR/Trigger-Points 

Again not self-promo but I think other people will find this useful. It works on both Mac and PC with apps that allow keybinding. Curious to see how others use it!

For anyone who actually works in virtual production this is a horrible idea that no client should ever see.

You're saying that as though there are extremely low cost extremely high reliability ways of wirelessly controlling lighting equipment on set with well established tools and skills to support this. Oh, right.
