Overview
This software collection implements a vision-based hand gesture
interface. Called HandVu, it detects the hand in a
standard posture, then tracks it and recognizes key postures - all
in real-time and without the need for camera or user calibration.
The software package consists of the main HandVu library and
several applications that demonstrate video capture with OpenCV's
highgui, DirectShow, and the ARtoolkit. If your application
includes video processing, you would just make a few library calls
and hand gesture recognition results will be available to you. If
your application does not use camera input already, you can run
one of the sample programs and interface to your application with
a networking interface.

Please check the HandVu
homepage for updates, and use the Yahoo HandVu Group for
discussion of problems and positive experiences ;)
Installation
All versions require the OpenCV
library to be successfully installed and tested with your
particular system and camera.
