📱💨 AR Bubble Pop Game (Python)

AR Bubble Pop is an interactive game where players pop floating bubbles using just their fingers, tracked in real time through a webcam (PC) or device camera. Built with Python, MediaPipe, OpenCV, and Pygame, it merges computer vision with simple game mechanics for a fun augmented reality experience.

🔹 How It Works

Hand Tracking: MediaPipe detects your hands and tracks the index fingertip.

AR Interaction: The fingertip position is mapped onto the game screen.

Bubble Mechanics: Bubbles spawn, float upward, and can be popped by touching them with your fingertip.

Real-Time Camera Feed: The webcam background blends with the game, creating an AR effect.

🔹 Features

Real-time finger tracking using a standard camera.

Bubbles spawn randomly in size, position, and speed for varied gameplay.

Collision detection: fingertip inside a bubble’s radius makes it pop.

Optional pop sound effect for feedback.

Lightweight and runs on most laptops/PCs with Python.

🔹 Tech Stack

Python

OpenCV → live camera input & image processing

MediaPipe Hands → fingertip landmark tracking

Pygame → game engine (bubbles, collisions, rendering, sound)

NumPy → array/image handling

🔹 Use Cases

Fun computer vision demo.

Educational project to learn augmented reality, gesture tracking, and game dev with Python.

Foundation for expanding into more AR/AI-based games.
