In this Project we try to control our media player using hand gestures with the help of OpenCV and Python. Computer applications require interaction between human and computer. This interaction needs to be unrestricted and it has made it challenging to traditional input devices such as keyboard, mouse, pen etc. Hand gesture is an important component of body languages in linguistics. Human computer interaction becomes easy with the use of the hand as a device. Use of hand gestures to operate machines would make interaction interesting. Gesture recognition has gained a lot of importance. Hand gestures are used to control various applications like windows media player, robot control, gaming etc. Use of gesture makes interaction easy, convenient and does not require any extra device. Vision and audio recognition can be used together. But audio commands may not work in noisy environments.
