Use of Gesture Recognition for Differently Abled Persons

In recent times, there are more number of people prone to disabilities due to various factors. To alleviate the life of differently abled people, we propose a project which uses hand gestures to operate devices in the surrounding. The need for human assistance is reduced which also reduces the financial burden on the patients. We have used the concept of computer vision to recognize hand gestures and perform the function of operating devices. Each hand gesture is assigned with a predefined function to execute a certain task.
