A gesture-based
control system utilizes real-time camera input and
artificial intelligence to interpret user hand gestures for controlling a
digital interface. The
system includes a camera and processor configured to analyze image data using
machine learning models trained on a diverse set of stored hand gesture representations. Gestures are recognized based on positional attributes, handedness, and motion vectors, and are mapped to input commands such as
swipe left, right, up, or down. The
system is designed for simplicity, using natural, intuitive gestures, such as swiping, thumbs up, thumbs down, and the “OK” sign, requiring no memorization or complex training. These familiar motions enable touch-free navigation and interaction with
digital content, including support for hierarchical menu structures. The
system can operate with or without visual gesture feedback. Methods and non-transitory computer-readable media are also disclosed for performing gesture detection and command execution.
