In today’s technological era, many technologies are evolving day by day. One such promising concept is Human- Machine Interface. For example, in a wired mouse there is no provision to extend limit. In wireless mouse, one should have Bluetooth hardware installed in the computer and Bluetooth dongle attached. The proposed technology will have no such limitations and will instead depend on gesture recognition. In this project, three technologies are mainly used: object detection, image processing and color recognition using ‘Sixth sense technology’. Sixth sense technology is a set of wearable devices that acts as a gestural interface between the physical and digital world. The aim is to move the mouse cursor on the screen without using hardware such as a mouse and only by moving the cursor through finger movements i.e. the process of gesture recognition. In this paper, we present a novel approach for Human Computer Interaction (HCI) where cursor movement is controlled using a real-time camera.
