With the growing technology, we humans always need something that stands out
from the other thing. Gestures are most desirable source to Communicate with
the Machines...Human Computer Interaction finds its importance when it comes to
working with the Human gestures to control the computer applications. Usually
we control the applications using mouse, keyboard, laser pointers etc. but,
with the recent advent in the technology it has even left behind their usage by
introducing more efficient techniques to control applications. There are many
Gesture Recognition techniques that have been implemented using image
processing in the past. However recognizing the gestures in the noisy background has always been a
difficult task to achieve. In the proposed system, we are going to use one such
technique called Augmentation in Image processing to control Media Player. We
will recognize Gestures using which we are going to control the operations on
Media player. Augmentation usually is one step ahead when it comes to virtual
reality. It has no restrictions on the background. Moreover it also does not
rely on certain things like gloves, color pointers etc. for recognizing the
gesture. This system mainly appeals to those users who always looks out for a
better option that makes their interaction with computer more simpler or
easier.(read more)
