Design and Development of Air Gesture Interface Using Wheelchair Motion and Access

Abstract

Many people are  suffering from temporary or permanent disabilities due to some medical issues or accidents. Wheelchairs are the evaded partner for most of disabled people lives, especially for those with limbs disability. Driving the wheelchair by hand may not be feasible for a physically challenged person with limited hand movement and as an alternate, simple finger movement based control system can assist them. The main aim is to develop an easier interface for wheel chair motion along with gaining access to do other activities through Air-gestures, without depending on another person using the concepts of video processing. The main theme is to control the wheelchair according to  the gestures recognized from the input source. This method is feasible under different lighting conditions.
