"Real Time Hand Gesture Recognition For Mouse Controlling Function"

Hand gestures are an easy to use and natural way of interaction. Using hands as a device can help people communicate with computers in a more intuitive and natural way. When we interact with other people, our hand movements play an important role and the information they convey is very rich in many ways. We use our hands for pointing at a person or at an object, conveying information about space, shape and temporal characteristics. We constantly use our hands to interact with objects: move them, modify them, and transform them. In the same unconscious way, we gesticulate while speaking to communicate ideas (stop, come closer, no, etc). Hand movements are thus a mean of non-verbal communication, ranging from simple actions (pointing at objects for example) to more complex ones (such as expressing feelings or communicating with others). In this sense, gestures are not only an ornament of spoken language, but are essential components of the language generation process itself [1].
