Hand Gesture Controlled Wheelchair

This paper outlines a method for directing wheelchair movement through hand gestures. The wheelchair is made in such a way that any individual may control it with ease if they just move their wrist. The hand movements are recognized by using hand gesture recognition algorithm. It recognizes five different hand movements like forward, reverse, left, right and stop. It does not involve complex computing system which is quite challenging for the elderly people. This design also has GPS features to track location of the wheelchair from anywhere in the world. It is also connected by using Bluetooth technology which helps the people to control through assisting people.
