Hand Gesture Recognition Using 3-D Depth Perception

Abstract

The paper provides information on hand gesture recognition through its various methods but primarily focused on 3D depth-perceiving sensor technology for hand tracking and gesture recognition. Hand gesture recognition provides new opportunities for human-computer interactions (HCI) and over the past decade has emerged in various fields and technologies. The paper lures an likeness amongst the present technologies in the market and the workings behind their operations. It differentiates between the old and newer mechanics employed in the products. Furthermore, the paper discusses the existing uses of gesture recognition with their limitations. It provides proposed ideas in various fields, their use and future developmental paths.
