Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support

   Primary language is C++, which may not be familiar to all developers, and while there are bindings for other languages like Python, they are less mature.

2. 02

   Complex setup process

   Setting up the environment can be challenging due to dependencies on external libraries and tools that need proper configuration.

3. 03

   Sparse documentation for advanced features

   While basic tutorials exist, detailed explanations of more complex functionalities are lacking, making it difficult for users to fully leverage the library's capabilities.

4. 04

   Performance issues with large datasets

   Real-time processing can become sluggish when dealing with high-resolution or large volumes of gesture data, impacting the responsiveness and accuracy of recognition systems.

What it does well

• Real-time gesture recognition capabilities

• Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)

• Comprehensive set of machine learning algorithms for classification and regression

• Easy integration into existing C++ projects
