Abstract
This paper proposes a virtual mouse application based on the tracking of different hand gestures. The system eliminates the dependency on any external hardware required to perform mouse actions. A built-in camera tracks the user's hands, predefined gestures are recognized and the corresponding mouse events are executed. This system has been implemented in Python using OpenCV and PyAutoGUI. Researchers have studied background conditions, effects of differences in illuminance and skin colour individually. However, the proposed system aims to take into account all the above factors to build an application most suitable in the real world.
