And using a depth sensor may be more robust for hand tracking and gesture recognition.

Nice! You can implement a real time skin segmentation algorithm using HSV segmented skin as training, and using random forests to do classification, it classifies in real-time with opencv!

Here is a video of my result from only training with one frame of a segmented HSV hand to some random videos: https://vimeo.com/114489035

Also, you can use a kinect or an occipital structure sensor to do segmentation from a certain depth, more hardware but less vision computation.

How did you implement the hand detection? Since your using HSV color space, are your just doing color segmentation for a guessed range of Hue, Saturation, and Value for the color of skin? I have a few ideas on how to really improve the detection since I've worked on skin segmentation before

Just downloaded on the 6S. Nice UI but the app is a little buggy. Good Luck and awesome seeing a startup launching from Cornell Tech!

Are you all planning on integrating Robinhood as a broker?
