Design and Implementation of Hand Gesture Based Virtual Mouse

Abstract

Since the invention of computers, there has been a dramatic shift in the method of creating contact between
computers and people. The mouse is one example of a groundbreaking invention in HCI. The wireless or Bluetooth
mouse is only one example of how these technologies continue to rely on supplementary hardware. For instance, a
Bluetooth mouse may need a connecting dongle in addition to batteries. Such gadgets may be less user-friendly due
to the need of these additional components. In this study, we provide a virtual mouse technology that solves these
problems. Computer vision and hand gestures are the backbone of the proposed system, which is based on HCI
concepts.
