What is Gesture ? 
• Non-verbal communication 
• Gives message 
• A gesture is a non-verbal 
communication in which 
visible body communicates 
particular message 
• Motion of body that contains 
information

Hand Gesture Recognition 
• Human Computer Interaction 
• Gesture provides a way for computers to understand 
human body language 
• Deals with the goal of interpreting hand gestures via 
mathematical algorithms 
• Enables humans to interface with the machine (HMI) and 
interact naturally without any mechanical devices
