Nowadays, computer science has evolved to the point where a computer can authenticate its owner using a basic picture-processing algorithm. People are currently adopting this vision in many parts of daily life, such as facial recognition, colour detection, autonomous autos, and so on. This concept uses hand and face motions to make an optical mouse and a hand-gesture-based virtual keyboard using computer vision. The computer's camera will scan a view of the different movements made by a person's face and eye. Based on the movement of the motions, the computer's mouse or pointer will move, even completing right and left clicks using different gestures. Similarly, several gestures may be used to access keyboard operations. For example, selecting letters can be done with one finger, and left and right swiping can be done with a four-figure motion. It will function as a virtual mouse and keyboard without the use of any connectors or other hardware. The camera is the only piece of hardware utilized in the project, and Python is used for the coding on the Anaconda platform. The computer will recognize user movements and respond correctly after mapping a few of them with the mouse and keyboard.
