Abstract

The virtual mouse is an important research topic in HCI (Human Computer Interaction) technology, and the most popular method is based on hand gestures. In this paper, a six-degree-of-freedom virtual mouse based on hand gestures is presented using an inexpensive USB webcam. The hand tracking and gesture recognition framework includes the motion, skin color and finger information of the hand. It can even provide computer access for the disabled people who cannot bend their fingers at all with severe disabilities. The experiments show that the system has good interactive input functions in real time.
