The full story
The poster built a gesture controller that needs no gloves or sensors. A fist throws a punch, an open palm a kick, with left and right hands mapping to left and right, and moving the hands sideways walks or dashes.
It sends real keyboard input using pydirectinput, so it works with Tekken 7's default layout, and the key mappings are a JSON file so it can be pointed at other keyboard-controlled games. A small camera window shows the hand tracking. It is open source.
