 ABSTRACT

Hand gesture is an innovative technique of interaction between human and computer. As

compared to existing techniques, hand gesture technique has the advantage of being easy to
use. By using this technique the traditional way of using mouse and keyboard will be changed
because one can then interact with the computer with hand gestures.
In this technique, ultrasonic sensor is used to classify the hand movement in real-time.
Ultrasonic sensor measures the distance of hand by using sound waves. The main idea of our
approach is to speed up the interaction with computer, using general purpose hardware like
personal computer, Arduino UNO board and low cost sensor like ultrasonic sensor(HCSR
04). In this way any user can easily interact with the computer using hand gestures.
This project describes about controlling video using gestures. It is based on using the
combination of Arduino and Python. Instead of using a keyboard, mouse or joystick, we can
use our hand gestures to control certain functions of a computer like to play/pause a video,
increasing and decreasing of volume and forward and backward of video. The idea behind the
project is quite easy by using two Ultrasonic Sensors (HC-SR04)[1] with Arduino. We will
place the two sensors on the top of a laptop screen and calculate the distance between the
hand and the sensor. Counting on the information from Arduino that is sent to Python through
the serial port, this information will then be read by Python which is running on the computer
in order to perform certain actions.
