The quick progress in human-computer interaction resulted in creating better input systems like gesture-based systems that allow users to control digital devices through hand movements. The goal of this project named "Smart Gesture Recognition and Cursor Control" targets a complete transformation of computer user interfaces by applying real-time hand signal recognition features. Through integration of OpenCV alongside MediaPipe and PyAutoGUI the system uses natural hand movement detection to generate executable commands which control the cursor and operate the system and handle the windows. The system uses basic camera equipment to keep costs low while deploying across different devices and demanding no specialized hardware requirements. Implementation of the system depends on two crucial components which include tracking hand landmarks through computer vision and executing system commands based on machine learning algorithms. Through the proposed solution users complete different tasks such as cursor movement along with clicks and scrolls that enhance volume adjustment and manage all application windows while tapping into screenshot and window control functions which all function without traditional hardware like mice or keyboards. User accessibility receives major advancement via this technology because it creates a substitute interface that helps people with disabilities avoid conventional hardware constraints. This technology operates as a hygiene measure by creating a touchless computing system that delivers advantages for shared workspaces as well as healthcare and public terminal environments. This research achievement marks a necessary advancement in touchless computing because it enables seamless communication between human body movements and machine reaction. The combination of AI-driven gesture recognition functionality with system control creates better user experiences that will lead to new VR, AR and smart home automation developments. Such technology has the potential to transform digital interaction if additional developments are made which will make computers more efficient and interactive and accessible for users.
