Abstract

Presentations are a powerful tool for presenters who want to persuade their audiences in today's digital age. This paper exploits advances in hand gesture recognition, and proposes a virtual control system for presentations. The proposed system utilizes a webcam or built-in camera to capture hand gestures. Based on hand gestures, presentations can be controlled virtually and change presentation slides in both forward and backward directions. It is also possible by using the proposed system to get a pointer on the slide, write, or draw virtually on the screen through specific hand gestures. The obtained results show that the proposed system has a high accuracy of 96% in recognizing hand gestures and thus controlling presentations remotely without using any external device.
