Cursor Movement using Hand Gestures in Python and Arduino Uno

Abstract

Abstract: As we are moving ahead in time in technology, humans are making various techniques for their comfort. While working with computers, sometimes it is boring to use a mouse or keyboard to give any computer commands and wait for their execution. For this reason, to increase human-computer interaction, we will use our hand gestures to perform cursor movements and some other exciting functions. We are using pair of ultrasonic sensors, Arduino Uno, and python as a programming language. Sensors are for the use of measuring distance. Arduino will take the signals in the form of distance, and it will perform cursor movements like Scrolling through Webpages, Changing Tabs, Volume Increase and Decrease, Play/Pause, Forward and Backward, Working on Presentation Slides with operations such as Previous Slide, Next Slide, writing on slide dynamically, Undo the changes written and Playing Games as well, etc.
