Abstract - The Virtual Mouse using Hand Gesture Recognition is an innovative system that allows users to control a computer cursor through hand gestures instead of a traditional mouse. This project utilizes Python, machine learning, and OpenCV to detect and interpret hand movements in real time. A camera captures gestures, which are processed using computer vision techniques to perform mouse actions such as clicking, scrolling, and cursor movement. Additionally, a zoom-in and zoom-out feature enhances user interaction through specific gestures. This touch-free interface provides an intuitive and hygienic alternative to traditional input devices, making it particularly beneficial for accessibility, gaming, and contactless computing applications.
