Gesture recognition is an upcoming technology which can change entire technology and our work in daily life.Gesture means signs made by human beings which originate from face, hands or any part of the body.These gestures can be captured using scanning or video methods and by processing these gestures in to human signals.GUI related interfaces are used in which text is taken as input from mouse and keyboard.In this new system gestures are used as inputs which do not require any mechanical elements to communicate between man and machine.If we move our hand on computer screen and based on our movement, curser will accordingly move which will make work easier.But now with increase in technological knowledge, the concept slowly enhanced into voice, speech recognition and position recognition models.These have enriched the domain and have roped in some very sophisticated means of human computer interaction.Finger tracking is one such advanced gesture innovation.It is the use of hands and their various positions to kick-start a computer application.It aims at minimizing the use of keyboard and mouse.Non-touch based interaction or giving the input to computers with eyes is one major breakthrough in the domain.It can certainly be adjudged as the ray of hope for disabled people or people busy with multitasking.
