Computer Control With Hand Gestures

This document describes a project to control a computer using hand gestures detected by ultrasonic sensors and an Arduino board. The goal is to provide a more natural interface than mouse and keyboard. It works by using ultrasonic sensors to measure hand distance and classify gestures in real-time. The system has applications in gaming, accessibility for disabled users, home computing and presentations. It offers advantages of low cost, portability and not requiring physical contact with the device, though the sensing distance is limited and accuracy is needed.

OBJECTIVE
• Extension of communication channel between a human and a
machine
• To reduce our need for devices like mouse, keys, remote control or
keys for interaction with the electronic devices
• To reduce direct contact between the user and the device
REQUIREMENTS
• Arduino UNO (a microcontroller)
• Ultrasonic Sensors
• USB Cable (for Arduino and Laptop connection)
• Few Connecting Wires
• A Laptop with internet connection
• Arduino IDE (Software)

Applications
• Can be used in gesture control gaming in gaming industry
• Can be used by disabled people who cannot use mouse or keyboard
• Can be used in Personal computers especially Laptops at home
• With some modifications, It can be used In Televisions at home
• Can be implemented in medical area for making gesture control
displays
• Can be used for making touch less displays at low cost
• Can be useful during presentations
Pros
• Low cost.
• The given system is handy and portable, and thus can be easily carried from one place
to another.
• The circuitry is not that complicated and thus can be easily troubleshooted.
• There are no moving parts, so device wear is not an issue.
• Less cost for making a gesture control computer.
• This system would be designed to be those that seem natural to users, thereby
decreasing the learning time required.
• They will reduce our need for devices like mouse, keys, remote control or keys for
interaction with the electronic devices.

Cons
• The distance between ultrasonic sensors and user is limited.
• 2. The distance between sensor and user must be accurate.
