This paper proposes a novel vision based cursor control system, using hand gestures captured from a webcam through a color detection technique. The system will allow the user to navigate the computer cursor using their hand bearing color caps or tapes and cursor functions, such as right and left clicks, double clicks, scroll up and down will be performed using different hand gestures. The proposed system uses nothing more than a low resolution webcam that acts as a sensor and it is able to track the users hand bearing color caps in two dimensions and can recognize up to five different hand gestures, which are interpreted as mouse functions.
