Researchers from all over the world are working to make our devices more interactive
and to make them work with minimal physical contact. In this study, we suggest an
interactive computer system that can function without the usage of a keyboard or a mouse.
This device has the potential to benefit everyone, especially paralysed people who have
difficulty using a real mouse. Virtual Mouse with Hand Gesture Recognition is a project that
shows a novel way to control mouse movement with a real-time camera / Web camera. Our
idea is to employ a camera and computer vision technologies to manage mouse tasks
(clicking and scrolling), and we demonstrate how it can do all that existing mouse devices
can. This project demonstrates how to construct a mouse control system. The proposed
system is made up of nothing more than a sensor which is a normal-resolution webcam that
can follow the user’s hand in two dimensions. Python and OpenCV will be used to build the
system. Hand gestures are the most natural and effortless manner of communicating. The
camera’s output will be displayed on the monitor.
Objective:
With the development technologies in the areas of augmented reality and devices that
we use in our daily life, these devices are becoming compact in the form of Bluetooth or
wireless technologies. This paper proposes an AI virtual mouse system that makes use of the
hand gestures and hand tip detection for performing mouse functions in the computer using
computer vision. The main objective of the proposed system is to perform computer mouse
cursor functions and scroll function using a web camera or a built-in camera in the computer
instead of using a traditional mouse device. Hand gesture and hand tip detection by using
computer vision is used as a Human Computer Interaction [HCI] with the computer. With the
use of the AI virtual mouse system, we can track the fingertip of the hand gesture by using a
built-in camera or web camera and perform the mouse cursor operations and scrolling
function and also move the cursor with it. While using a wireless or a Bluetooth mouse, some
devices such as the mouse, the dongle to connect to the PC, and also, a battery to power the
mouse to operate are used, but in this paper, the user uses his/her built-in camera or a webcam
and uses his/her hand gestures to control the computer mouse operations. In the proposed
system, the web camera captures and then processes the frames that have been captured and
then recognizes the various hand gestures and hand tip gestures and then performs the
particular mouse function.
