Cursor Movements Controlled By Real Time Hand Gestures

K. Madhuri, L. Praveen Kumar

Abstract: Computer has influenced our life in such a way that it is very difficult to sustain without a computer. Hence, we are explaining a mechanism, which helps the user to operate the computer with ease. This paper discusses a new approach for cursor movement using real time hand gestures. This explains whether, how to design human-computer interface and to regulate the set of motions of human hand. As we use empty hand for controlling the movement of cursor on pc, this system totally eliminates the usage of sensors and batteries. Here we propose to change the hardware design. Most of the existing technologies mainly depend on changing the mouse parts features like changing the position of tracking ball and adding more buttons. We use a camera, image comparison technology and motion detection technology to control mouse movement and implement its functions.
