Vision Based Hand Gestures Recognition,”
This project is presenting a program that allows the International Journal of Information Technology and

with a very low cost cameras as this not requires very high
definition cameras to detect or record the hand gestures.
Specifically, system tracks the tip positions of the counters
and index finger of each hand.The main motive of this type
of system is basically to automate the things in our system in
order to make the things become easier to control. So in
order to make it realiable we have used this system to make
the system easier to control with the help of these
applications.
