Abstract
A hand gesture recognition system allows for nonverbal communication that is natural, inventive, and modern. It can be used in a variety of applications involving human-computer interaction. Sign language is a type of communication in which people communicate using their gestures. The identification of hand gestures has become one of the most important aspects of human-computer interaction (HCI). The goal of HCI is to get to a point where human-computer interactions are as natural as human-human interactions, and adding gestures into HCI is an essential research topic in that direction. The history of hand gesture recognition is initially presented in this chapter, followed by a list of technical challenges. Researchers from all over the world are working on developing a reliable and efficient gesture recognition system, particularly a hand gesture recognition system, for a variety of applications. In this chapter, the core and advanced application areas and various applications that use hand gestures for efficient interaction have been addressed.
