How to draw figures with simple hand gestures?

SYNTHIA.

This project is a custom designed and built multi-axis motion control system that can host various motor configurations. Synthia is a software and hardware combo that uses sensory inputs like motion trackers, cameras, and touchpads to drive a ‘real-time’ machine configuration up to 4-axes. Synthia was initially built to control a large-scale drawing machine that works on 2D and 3D surfaces.
