Abstract:
-The everyday routine of humans in using their hands for man-machine interactions, applied to various fields in science, engineering, and even entertainment, has been of interest to a lot of researchers worldwide, knowing the endless applications this routine can provide. In this research, the group shows that it is possible to develop an inexpensive solution that would perform such human routine – specifically, 3D hand tracking and gesture simulation using only inexpensive equipment such as web digital cameras and open-souce software, C++, with OpenGL and OpenCV libraries. The group also presents in this research the foundations that would constitute such systems, as well as the considerations made in order to build such prototype. Simulation and experimentation results are also presented to validate the effectiveness of the designed system.
