Hand Gesture Recognition Used for Functioning System Using OpenCV

Abstract

Recently much attention has been paid to the design of intelligent and natural user-computer interfaces. Hand Gesture Recognition systems has been developed continuously as its ability to interact with the machines. Now-a-days the news of metaverse ecosystem has increased the number of system in gesture recognition. Gestures are used to communicate with the PCs in a virtual environment. In this project Hand gestures are used to communicate information non-verbally which are free of expression to do a particular task. Here the hand gestures are recognized by using hand skeleton recognition using mediapipe library in python. In this project, the PC camera will record live video and recognizes the hand gestures based on which a particular functionality will take place. This project will present virtual keyboard, calculator and control system’s volume using hand gestures recognition technique by coding in Python using the OpenCV library.
