Hand Gesture Recognition System as Virtual Mouse for HCI

Abstract

The technique of interaction between human and computer is evolving since the invention of computer technology. The mouse is one of the invention in HCI (human computer interaction) technology. Though wireless are Bluetooth mouse technology is invented still, that technology is not completely device free. A Bluetooth mouse has the requirement of battery power it requires extra power supply. Presence of extra devices in a mouse increases the difficulty level of more hardware components. The proposed mouse system is outside this limitation. This paper proposes a virtual mouse system using colored hand glove based on HCI using computer vision and hand gestures. Gestures captured with a webcam on processed with color segmentation, detection technique and feature extraction. The user will be allowed to control some of the computer cursor functions with a colored glove on the hand. Primarily, a user can perform with their fingers, scrolling up or down using their hands in different gestures. This system captures frames using a webcam or built-in cam it is based on the camera quality. So the usage of colored glove mouse system eliminates device dependency in order to use a mouse.
