Computer Mouse Implementation using Object Detection and Image Processing

There are so many devices developed to help the physical world interact with the digital world but only few are there for gesture recognition made by body movements. Gesture recognition technology is already developed. In this paper three technologies are mainly used: object detection, image processing and colour recognition for reducing the bridge between the physical world and the digital world by using Sixth sense technology. Sixth sense technology is a set of wearable devices that acts as a gestural interface between the physical world and the digital world. The system recognizes a user's free hand gestures as well as icons/symbols drawn in the air with the fingers. The aim of this paper is to move the mouse cursor on the screen without using hardware such as a mouse and only by moving the cursor through finger movements i.e. the process of gesture recognition. The implementation of the computer mouse is through the fingers by image grabbing using Sixth Sense Technology which is finally processed in MATLAB without using gesture recognition.
