Survey on Hand Gesture Recognition Technology

Interfacing with computer using Hand gestures based human computer interaction (HCI) is a very user friendly, most intuitive and natural way to interact. Hand gesture has been used since very old time not only by physically challenged people but normal people to communicate effectively. Gesture based interfaces promises to increase the efficiency and simplicity to interact with system. Gesture commonly originates from face or hand that includes emotion recognition from faces and hand gesture recognition. This paper includes journey of hand recognition based system and the methods used to implement those systems like glove-based and depth-based recognition. In the end we discuss the application prospective of hand gesture recognition
