INTRODUCTION- 
 WHAT IS GESTURE ? 
A Gesture is a form of non-verbal communication in which visible body actions communicate particular 
messages. Gestures include movement of the hands, face or other parts of the body. 
 WHAT IS GESTURE RECOGNITION ? 
The ability of a computer to scan, store and recognize human gestures as the mode of interaction with 
machines. 
The primary goal of gesture recognition is to create a system which understands human gestures and uses 
them to control various devices. 
With gesture recognition computers can become familiarized with the way humans communicate using 
gestures.
How does it work ?
