An Arduino Based Gesture Control System for Human-Computer Interface
Shravani Belgamwar, Sahil Agrawal · 2018
The basic goal of Human Computer Interaction System is to improve the interaction between users and computers by making the computer more receptive to user needs. Human Computer Interaction with a personal computer is not just limited to keyboard and mouse interaction today. Interaction between humans comes from different sensory modes like gesture, speech, facial and body expressions. The paper presents a literature survey conducted which provides an insight into the different methods that can be adopted and implemented to achieve hand gesture recognition. It also helps in understanding the advantages and disadvantages associated with the various techniques. Further, in this paper, we have proposed a cost-effective gesture recognition system that translates the detected gestures into actions. The system has two interfaces, the distance sensor interface and the accelerometer interface. The distance sensor interface translates the gestures for actions such as shuffling between different applications, volume control, scrolling, keyboard short-cuts and so on; while the accelerometer interface realizes the typing part of the system.
