A Beagleboard Xm Based Gesture Control Input Device for PC

Abstract

Computers have become an essential part of our lives. Many advances have occurred in these machines over past decade in terms of new faster processors, energy efficiency, HD monitors etc. but the basic input devices such as mouse and keyboard remained the same. This project aims at giving a better mode of human computer interaction by allowing computers to respond to human hand gestures directly. The device aims at using the same interface that a mouse uses for interaction with a computer and thus it can be used in any computer without much modification to its software environment.
