Nodex — Hands-Free YouTube Control via Head Gestures

Nodex lets you control YouTube entirely with your head movements — no hands, no keyboard, no mouse required.

How it works:
Using your device's camera, Nodex tracks your face in real time using MediaPipe Face Mesh — a state-of-the-art on-device AI model. Tilt your head to navigate, nod to play/pause, and blink to interact. Everything runs locally in your browser.

🔒 100% Private — No data ever leaves your device
Your camera feed is processed entirely on your machine. No video, no landmarks, no personal data is sent to any server. Ever.

Features:
- Play / Pause with a head nod
- Skip forward or backward by tilting left or right
- Navigate YouTube's browse page with head gestures
- Adjustable sensitivity and gesture thresholds
- Built-in calibration wizard for your unique eye anatomy
- Heads-up display (HUD) showing live gesture feedback
- Works on YouTube Watch pages and Browse pages

Who is this for?

- Anyone who wants a futuristic, touch-free YouTube experience
