FlowBeats is a gesture-controlled music system designed to allow users to navigate and control audio playback using simple hand gestures. This survey paper reviews existing gesture-recognition technologies, compares vision-based, sensor-based, and machine learning approaches, and identifies gaps in current music-interaction systems. The paper also outlines the conceptual architecture of FlowBeats and highlights its potential to provide low-cost, accurate, and hands-free multimedia control.
