This project enables hands-free control of presentation slides using real-time hand gesture recognition through a webcam. It leverages computer vision techniques to detect hand movements and map them to presentation actions, eliminating the need for physical input devices.
During presentations, constantly switching between the keyboard, mouse, and slides disrupts flow and engagement. Traditional clickers are limited and not always accessible. This project provides a touchless, intuitive solution using hand gestures.
The system uses a webcam to track hand gestures in real time and interprets them as slide navigation commands. Specific gestures are mapped to actions such as moving to the next or previous slide.
