Air drawing with hand gestures

Air Draw lets you draw in the air with hand gestures in front of your webcam. A hand-tracking model finds your fingertip in real time, and a glowing neon brush follows it across the screen. Pinch your thumb and index finger together to put the pen down, open them to lift it — or switch to point mode and draw with your index finger. Pick a color, change the brush size, undo or clear, and save your artwork as a PNG.

How to use

1
Start the camera

Tap “Start drawing with camera” and allow camera access, then hold your hand in view.

2
Pinch to draw

Bring your thumb and index finger together to put the pen down, and move your hand to draw a neon line.

3
Open to lift the pen

Open your fingers to stop the line. Change color or size any time, then save your drawing as a PNG.
