This addresses human-computer interaction for users needing alternative input methods, but it is incremental as it builds on existing color detection techniques.

The paper tackles controlling a computer mouse cursor and clicks via hand gestures using a web camera and color detection, achieving a cost-effective virtual HCI device.

In this paper we present an approach for Human computer Interaction (HCI), where we have tried to control the mouse cursor movement and click events of the mouse using hand gestures. Hand gestures were acquired using a camera based on colour detection technique. This method mainly focuses on the use of a Web Camera to develop a virtual human computer interaction device in a cost effective manner.
