Project Prague: Control Your Computer Using Hand Gestures

So you would like to control your computer and apps with hand gestures? It is always possible to use Leap Motion controller and other similar solutions to get the job done. Microsoft’s Project Prague is all about investigating ways to allow people to communicate with their computer using hand movement.

As the above video shows, this technology lets users rotate images, resize windows, and do a whole lot more. Machine learning is used to train systems to recognize motions better. To build this, the researchers recorded millions of hand images and then used that data set to cover for every possible hand pose and motion. The system not only recognizes hand motion but intent. Pretty fascinating, don’t you think?
