An approach of hand gesture recognition, setting the orientation histogram of the picture as the characteristic vector of hand gesture, is discussed in this paper. It can decrease the influence of light changes during the process of recognition effectively. A gesture-Driven system for intelligent wheelchairs is also introduced in the paper. Experimental results show that the method is robust and accurate.

Purpose To provide an overview of communication characteristics exhibited by individuals with Angelman Syndrome (AS) and special considerations associated with the design and implementation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) programs. Method Results of recent studies exploring individuals' uses of AAC are reviewed, with particular emphasis on factors related to individuals' acceptance and successful uses of AAC systems. Results Not applicable Conclusion Despite their inconsistent access to practices previously found to foster individuals' acceptance of AAC systems, individuals with AS demonstrate the ability to use AAC systems, including high-tech AAC devices, successfully.
