Gesture recognition is a technology that enables computers and digital devices to understand human movements, such as hand gestures, body motions, or facial movements. Cameras, sensors, or other input devices capture these movements, and software analyzes them to determine the intended gesture. The recognized movement can then be used as an instruction or interaction with a digital system.
Gesture recognition is used in smartphones, gaming systems, smart displays, vehicles, accessibility tools, and interactive devices. For example, a user might move a hand to control a presentation, adjust a device, or navigate through digital content without touching a physical control. By allowing machines to respond to natural movements, gesture recognition provides a more intuitive way for people to interact with technology.
