We provide a demo for gesture recognition with MMPose. This demo is built upon [MMPose Webcam API](/docs/en/tutorials/7_webcam_api.md).

### Get started

```shell
python demo/webcam_demo.py --config demo/webcam_cfg/gesture_recognition.py
```

### Hotkeys

| Hotkey | Function                                                    |
