where to find the media field in your tutorial

Hey, yeah the max number of hands is limited by the MediaPipe model. It was trained on 2 hands, so that's the max. I've seen people run 2 instances of MediaPipe with different webcams that don't overlap to be able to detect multiple people though

I reached out to Dom Scott, the other MediaPipe creator, and he implied that only 2 hands can be supported. There are some other libraries (a bit more technical) that run in python like rtmlib and sports2d which do support multiple body tracking that I'm gonna look into for my use case. In terms of TouchDesigner, Dom also recommended looking into the Body CHOP plugin, though he cautioned that the hand tracking isn't as good as with MediaPipe

was wondering about the same thing

Is there a way to enable hand tracking for more than 2 hands? If not, is this feature planned for the future? Just getting into MediaPipe, coming from the Kinect world in Unity.
