Researchers have developed a vision-based system for touchless navigation of medical images during surgery. The system uses a single RGB camera and hand gestures, tracked in real-time by MediaPipe Hands, to control image translation, rotation, and zoom. This approach eliminates the need for additional hardware or user training, offering a low-cost solution for sterile environments. Performance evaluations indicate real-time operation with low latency and stable control, suitable for surgical workflows. AI
