Abstract: In this day and age, the impact that technology has had on our lives is no lowly matter. Technology now is leaps and bounds ahead of what was present 20-30 years ago. We are constantly looking towards the future and what it might offer. The presence of computers and machines in our lives certainly make tasks easier for us in many ways. It depends on how we interact with these computers. Human computer interaction is the study of computer interaction and how it can be made better. We still interact with computers through input devices such as keyboards, mice, controllers etc. Sometimes we come in direct contact to the screen and we use our fingers to operate a device, i.e. – a phone or a touch screen. But we haven’t pushed any boundaries in how we can interact with computers better. There have been some eye-catching strides in this field. Verbal interaction is one such venue that was looked into. Speaking to a device makes things seem natural for us, and that is exactly what we are doing in the case of smart assistants. However, interaction through gestures is a very natural, intuitive and original way to interact with a computer. The objective of this system is to make the interaction between a computer and a human seem as natural as the interaction between humans. Our main goal is to highlight a means or a method to make this interaction possible. We recognize live hand gestures using colour signs as a means of differentiation between the gestures. We use ROI (Region of Interest) to map out the cardinality points and functions of interest. This can be done in decent lighting itself and can be used in various applications.
