The use of a physical controller such as a mouse,
a keyboard for human computer interaction hinders the
natural interface since the user and computer have a high
barrier. Our aim is to create an application that controls
some basic features of computers using hand gestures
through an integrated webcam to resolve this issue. A Hand
Gesture Recognition system detects gestures and translates
them into specific actions to make our work easier. This can
be pursued using OpenCV to capture the gestures which
will be interfaced using Django, React.Js and Electron. An
algorithm named YOLO is used to train the system
accordingly. The gestures will get saved inside the DBMS.
The main result expected is that the user will be able to
control the basic functions of the system using his/her hand
gestures and hence providing them utmost comfort.
