Abstract

In this era of evolving technologies, most of the human interactions with the electronic devices are becoming smart. For elderly and blind people, it may be difficult to use mouse and keyboard for every operation especially when watching videos in computer, increasing or decreasing of volume and play pause, and when using web browsers, scrolling up or down and swapping of the taps. This paper has tried to provide solutions to the above-mentioned problem by reducing the usage of mouse and keyboard using IOT technologies. Gesture recognition is one of the essential techniques to build user-friendly interface. This paper deals with Human Computer Interaction(HCI) consists of hardware components such as Arduino UNO and the ultrasonic sensors with the software components such as Arduino and Python IDLE for exchanging the information or communication between the user and machine.
