AirPop – Gesture-controlled file transfer without apps or Bluetooth

Summary: AirPop enables file transfer between devices using hand gestures via a shared link, requiring no app installation, pairing, or Bluetooth. It uses MediaPipe and WebRTC to detect gestures and facilitate browser-based transfers across platforms.

What it does

Users open the same link on two devices, close their fist to grab a file on one device, and open their palm on the other to receive it. The system works entirely within browsers using gesture recognition and peer-to-peer connection.

Who it's for

Anyone needing cross-platform file transfer between devices without relying on platform-specific tools or apps.

Why it matters

It solves the problem of platform restrictions and app dependencies in file sharing by enabling seamless, app-free transfers using natural hand gestures.
