Gesture Controlled Virtual Mouse makes human computer interaction simple by making use of Hand Gestures and Voice Commands. The computer requires almost no direct contact. All i/o operations can be virtually controlled by using static and dynamic hand gestures along with a voice assistant. This project makes use of the state-of-art Machine Learning and Computer Vision algorithms to recognize hand gestures and voice commands, which works smoothly without any additional hardware requirements. It leverages models such as CNN implemented by MediaPipe running on top of pybind11. It consists of two modules: One which works direct on hands by making use of MediaPipe Hand detection, and other which makes use of Gloves of any uniform color. Currently it works on Windows platform.
Neutral Gesture
Neutral Gesture. Used to halt/stop execution of current gesture.
Move Cursor
Cursor is assigned to the midpoint of index and middle fingertips. This gesture moves the cursor to the desired location. Speed of the cursor movement is proportional to the speed of hand.
Left Click
Gesture for single left click
Right Click
Gesture for single right click
Double Click
Gesture for double click
Scrolling
Dynamic Gestures for horizontal and vertical scroll. The speed of scroll is proportional to the distance moved by pinch gesture from start point. Vertical and Horizontal scrolls are controlled by vertical and horizontal pinch movements respectively.
Drag and Drop
Gesture for drag and drop functionality. Can be used to move/tranfer files from one directory to other.
Multiple Item Selection
Gesture to select multiple items
Volume Control
Dynamic Gestures for Volume control. The rate of increase/decrease of volume is proportional to the distance moved by pinch gesture from start point.
Brightness Control
Dynamic Gestures for Brightness control. The rate of increase/decrease of brightness is proportional to the distance moved by pinch gesture from start point.
Launch / Stop Gesture Recognition
-
Proton Launch Gesture Recognition
Turns on webcam for hand gesture recognition. -
Proton Stop Gesture Recognition
Turns off webcam and stops gesture recognition. (Termination of Gesture controller can also be done via pressingEnterkey in webcam window)
