GesturePresent is a Windows application that enables users to control presentation slides through hand gestures detected by their webcam. The tool eliminates the need for physical remotes or keyboard inputs, allowing presenters to maintain their flow during presentations.

Key features include next/previous slide control with hand rotation, an optional camera window with 'Dev Cam' mode for debugging, reliable performance in low-light conditions and at a distance, lightweight optimized detection without machine learning bloat, and a floating status overlay displaying detection state. The application runs completely offline with all processing done locally on the user's machine.

The system works by opening PowerPoint or other slide software in slideshow mode, launching GesturePresent.exe, and using hand rotations to navigate slides. Users can rotate their hand right for next slide and left for previous slide, with an optional camera feed toggle available for debugging purposes.

Benefits include effortless presentation control without physical devices, suitability for remote workers who want smooth presentations, cost savings compared to expensive clickers, and added engagement for salespeople and teachers. Use cases include students presenting from a distance, remote workers during Zoom meetings, budget-conscious users avoiding expensive hardware, and presenters wanting to add interactive elements.

The target audience includes students who set up laptops at a distance, remote workers wanting smooth presentations, budget-conscious users tired of expensive clickers, salespeople and teachers wanting to add wizardry to demos, and people looking for engaging party tricks. The application requires Windows 10/11 and a webcam, with no additional software dependencies.
