Hand gesture interaction using color-based method for tabletop interfaces

Abstract

In this paper, a hand gesture recognition method based on color marker detection is presented, In this case, we have used four types of colored markers (red, blue, yellow and green) mounted on the two hands. With this posture the user can perform different gestures as zoom, move, draw, and write on a virtual keyboard. This implemented system provides more flexible, natural and intuitive interaction possibilities, and also offers an economic and practical way of interaction.
