Run The Program

1. Run the program using python3 main.py or python main.py or ipython main.py
2. Select the Camera port (choose 0 if you are using a laptop)
3. Tune the upper and lower thresholds using the trackbars unless the gestures are being detected accurately enough. Ideally the lower threshold is around 130 and the upper threshold is 255.
