mediapipe will work with any USB webcam... the AI camera won't get any advantage
The mediapipe pip package depends on numpy 1.46, but the latest opencv wants numpy 2.x
The solution for this is:
* create new venv
* pip install mediapipe
* pip install opencv-python==4.11.0.86
^ That installation works in x86 and aarch64, including my raspberry pi 3 1GB, Bookworm Labwc
Example used: https://github.com/shenasa-ai/head-pose ... timator.py
Can you try that?
