Hand Gesture Recognition is a technology that enables computers and devices to interpret human hand movements as commands or meaningful actions. Using cameras, sensors, and computer vision or machine learning algorithms, the system detects hand shapes, positions, and movements and converts them into digital instructions.
Hand gesture recognition is used in touchless interfaces, smart devices, gaming, virtual and augmented reality, robotics, accessibility tools, and interactive displays. It allows users to control technology through gestures such as pointing, swiping, pinching, or waving, providing a more natural and hands-free way to interact with digital systems.
