This review explores gesture recognition in human-computer interaction, highlighting its implications and challenges.
As computers become more ubiquitous in society, traditional modes of interaction like the mouse and keyboard may become limiting. A potential approach to establishing natural and intuitive human-computer interaction is visual interpretation of hand motions. The literature on visual interpretation of hand gestures in relation to its function in human-computer interaction is reviewed in this article, with a focus on key contributions made by researchers in this vibrant topic. The objective of this review is to introduce gesture recognition as a mechanism for interaction with computers, exploring its potential to improve the efficiency and ease of information flow between humans and machines. The paper concludes with a discussion of the challenges and future directions for research in this field.
