Wheelchair and PC Volume Control Using Hand Gesture

Wheelchairs are mechanically controlled devices that allow the user to move about independently using hand gestures and angle of rotation via nrf signal transmission and receiving. Driving the wheelchair requires less human effort and force. The wheelchair also has an obstacle detection system, which decreases the risk of colliding with any object that is detected along the way. These devices are particularly beneficial for moving from one location to another. The gadgets can also be utilized in healthcare facilities for elderly people who have trouble moving around. For people who have lost their mobility, the devices are a lifesaver. Hand Gesture Recognition and feature extraction via a webcam are used to control the system in real time. The image is recorded using a webcam connected to the system, which is then processed and smoothed before being detected to control the volume and mouse virtually. This paper also presents the experimental results based on hand movements.
