VR Tech

The prototype of our VR Glove.
Demonstration

Our idea presents a futuristic approach towards human and computer interaction. Our team presents to you VR Tech - Where Virtual and Actual Reality Meet.

The problem we are trying to solve here is - Differently-abled people cannot work on a computer easily. For example, people who suffer from paralysis might not be able to move more than a hand or some people might not have one hand making it difficult for them to type and use the mouse. In today's time all jobs require the use of computers as a primary skill, such people lose out on lots of opportunities because of no fault of their own. We want to make it easier for them to be able to use computers and get the jobs they want!

Let us talk about our objective.

-We have come up with a simple and effective solution for the differently-abled to be able to use computers and work like everyone else. Our product not only solves a social problem but it provides an immersive experience for the people who are bored of working with the more traditional computer equipment. -Eliminate the use of dedicated hardware for cursor movement This reduces the cost of the computer system -To be able to capture an image of the user with the help of a webcam which is already inbuilt in the system these days; to develop an object recognition system and gesture recognition system to detect the hand gestures and the colours -Facilitate people with limb disabilities -To allow them to perform the cursor movement with limited limb movements so that they get to operate the mouse operations. -To allow them to access various domains which earlier they had no access to

This is how we have carried out our project-

Hand gestures have been acquired with the help of a webcam-based on colour recognition technique. Motivated by the concept that we can interact with the computer system, we have tried to break the barriers of interaction between humans and computers by replacing the existing hardware with gestures. The aim is to move the cursor on the screen without using hardware such as a mouse. It can be moved only by moving the cursor through finger movements i.e. the process of gesture recognition. In recent years, different technologies have been used for developing virtual mouse. The proposed technology in our project focuses majorly on three technologies: object detection, image processing and colour recognition.

We have successfully come up with a novel approach for Human and Computer Interaction, where the cursor movement is controlled using a real-time camera. In the future, we plan on enhancing the features and making them more user friendly, building our own website and selling online.
