The field of human-computer interaction has seen tremendous advancement in recent
years. In this project, we used a Human Computer Interaction strategy in which we
aimed to include the use of a hardware mouse and control the mouse points with hand
gestures and colour recognition. With the use of a camera and a colour recognition
technology, hand motions were captured. We have attempted to remove the boundaries
of contact between humans and computers by replacing current hardware with gestures,
motivated by the thought that we can communicate with the computer system. The goal
is to move the mouse pointer on the screen without using any hardware, such as a
mouse, and instead by utilising finger motions, i.e. the gesture recognition process.
Different technologies have been explored in the development of virtual mice in recent
years. Our project's suggested technology focuses on three main areas: object
identification, picture processing, and colour recognition. We demonstrate an
innovative method to Human Computer Interaction in this research, in which cursor
movement is controlled by a real-time camera.
