This review analyses the different gesture recognition systems through a timeline, showing the different types of technology, and specifying which are the most important features and their achieved recognition rates. At the end of the review, Leap Motion sensor possibilities are described in detail, in order to consider its application on the field of sign language. This device has many positive characteristics that make it a good option for sign language. One of the most important conclusions is the ability of the Leap Motion sensor to provide 3D information from the hands for due identification.

We perform gesture recognition in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment using dataproduced by the Leap Motion device. Leap Motion generates a virtual three-dimensional (3D) handmodel by recognizing and tracking user‘s hands. From this model, the Leap Motion applicationprogramming interface (API) provides hand and finger locations in the 3D space. We present asystem that is capable of learning gestures by using the data from the Leap Motion device and theHidden Markov classification (HMC) algorithm. We have achieved the gesture recognitionaccuracy (mean ± SD) is 86.1 ± 8.2% and gesture typing speed is 3.09 ± 0.53 words per minute(WPM), when recognizing the gestures of the American Sign Language (ASL).

The objective of this paper has been the development of a prototype of articulated Robotic arm and implementation of a control strategy for gesture recognition through (Leap motion sensor), by means the natural movement of the fore-arm and hand. The series of advances relative to the control techniques have caused that the robotics it has also introduced as an educational and complement in obligatory basic teachings. To develop and to control Robotic elements locally or remotely, it has always proven to be a clear example of additional motivation. The prototype developed has exceeded the initial expectations and at low cost.
