I am trying to do a project on gesture control of PC's through cam or sensors. Can anyone guide me that how can I start the project and to develop a software through which I may be able to read the gestures and operate the system.I need details on how the software is developed and using which language,tools etc.,

Yeah... not a Quick Answers. Start by doing some research yourself. There is probably an article or two on CodeProject that deals with this subject. Did you look?

Yes, but there is no such thing that can help him at the moment. Intel RealSense is currently new kid on the block so it might take some time. :-)

Anyways, check out my answer Solution 1 for more on this.

Really? Kinect has been around for quite awhile. Webcams have been around for quite some time also. Plenty of projects have been created that use them for games and such. So I would not say that it does not exist.

Oops, my bad. Kinect really slipped from my mind. Thank you, Wes.

1 solution

What you are looking for can be a possible candidate for Intel's RealSense[^] technology. This can read the gestures that you provide, and function as you guide it to.

I am not sure whether you would find such a great article right now, but wait a for a while to get the article. Or instead, you can get the tool kit (SDK) and get started by reading the developer documentations from Intel[^] itself. I am sure the SDK would be easy and you will be able to get it started (by applying just a little common sense).

Reminded by Wes Aday

I forgot Kinect technology by Microsoft[^], which has been in the market for a while and is widely in use. You can surely use Kinect and program the applications as per your need.

This article would get you started, Kinect – Getting Started – Become The Incredible Hulk[^] or go through the resources for Kinect tag on CodeProject[^].
