This document describes a project to control computer mouse movements using hand gestures detected by an Xbox 360 camera and computer vision techniques. The system uses the Xbox 360 camera and OpenCV library to capture images of the user's hand, segment the hand from the background, identify finger positions including the index finger to act as the mouse cursor, and map hand and finger movements to mouse movements and clicks on the computer screen. The system was developed as an alternative to using a physical mouse to make computer interaction easier and more accessible. It achieves average recognition rates but has limitations in detecting gestures from long distances. Future work could improve hand recognition accuracy and range.
