Hand gesture detection and recognition is a cutting-edge technology thatis getting progressively applicable in several applications, including the recenttrends namely Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. It is a key part of Human-Computer Interaction which gives an approach to two-way interaction between thecomputer and the user. Currently, this technology is limited to expensive and highlyspecialized equipment and gadgets such as Kinect and the Oculus Rift. In this paper,various technologies and methodologies of implementing a gesture detection andrecognition system are discussed. The paper also includes the implementation of aface recognition module using the Viola-Jones Algorithm for authentication of thesystem followed by hand gesture recognition using CNN to perform basic operationson the laptop. Any type of user can use gesture control as an alternative andinteresting way to control their laptop. Furthermore, this can be used as a prototypefor future implementations in the field of virtual reality as well as augmented reality.
