AN OVERVIEW ON: VIRTUAL MOUSE: A HAND FREE COMPUTER INPUT DEVICE

Abstract: A virtual mouse system enables interaction with computers without physical devices, relying on hand gestures and eye-tracking technology for control. Using computer vision and machine learning, the system processes hand movements like pointing, clicking, and dragging, alongside eye movements for precision tasks such as scrolling and zooming. Techniques such as contour detection, color tracking, and shape analysis ensure accurate gesture recognition, while eye tracking enhances usability for applications like web browsing and graphic design. This touchless interface is especially valuable in hygienic environments or for users with mobility challenges. Designed to work with standard webcams, the system offers an intuitive and accessible way to interact with computers, eliminating the need for additional hardware while providing a seamless and efficient user experience.
