Laboratory Demonstration GoalThis laboratory demonstration showcases MediaPipe's ability to track 468 3D facial landmarks, 21 hand keypoints, and human body pose coordinates in real-time.
On-Device Neural TrackingInteractive Capability Spec

MediaPipe Vision & Tracking

Detect 3D face meshes, hand skeleton joints, and pose landmarks at 60+ FPS.

What Is It?

Optimized TFLite models executed via WebAssembly and WebGL/WebGPU acceleration.

Problem Solved

Enables real-time camera AR filters, virtual try-ons, and gesture interfaces without cloud latency.

Input & Output

In: HTMLVideoElement (webcam stream), HTMLImageElement, or Canvas.
Out: Normalized 3D keypoint arrays (X, Y, Z coordinates + confidence scores).

Why Use It?

Build virtual background blur, hand gesture control, and face privacy pixelators.
