| description | The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for innovative solutions that
prioritize public health and safety, especially in shared spaces. As a response to this need,
touchless screen control systems based on hand gestures have emerged as a crucial
technology, offering a way to interact with digital screens without physical contact, thus
reducing the risk of viral transmission.
By leveraging libraries like OpenCV, Mediapipe, NumPy, and PyAutoGUI within a Jupyter
notebook environment, the proposed Hand Gesture Recognition system aims to detect and
respond to detected gestures using a camera. These systems boast several advantages,
including reduced physical space requirements compared to traditional mouse control setups.
This aspect makes them particularly suitable for environments with space constraints or
mobile applications.
Furthermore, hand gesture-based screen control systems can play a vital role in enhancing
public health safety, especially in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic or any other
unknown pandemic in future. By enabling contactless interaction with screens, they help
minimize the risk of viral transmission, aligning with broader public health efforts to combat
infectious diseases. Beyond immediate concerns, this technology signifies a shift in how
humans interact with computers, envisioning a future where digital interfaces seamlessly
integrate into everyday life, accommodating individuals with various abilities and preferences.
Through an exploration of their features and practical applications, this thesis underscores the
potential of hand gesture-based screen control systems in creating a cleaner, more accessible,
and interconnected world. By prioritizing user experience and inclusivity, these systems lay
the groundwork for a future where technology enhances both safety and convenience,
ushering in a new era of human-computer interaction. |
