GRACE explores a C-arm controlled through computer-vision-based hand gesture recognition. The project aims to let a surgeon reposition the system without touching its controls.

Goal

Design a C-arm that moves in response to recognized hand gestures.

Approach

Use computer vision to recognize hand gestures and control C-arm movement. The intended benefit is contactless operation in settings where sterility matters.
