Abstract: The Virtual Mouse using Hand Gestures is an innovative system that replaces traditional input devices with touchless hand movement recognition.Using computer vision and deep learning techniques, this project enables users to control the cursor, perform clicks, scroll, and execute other mouse functions through simple hand gestures captured by a webcam.The system leverages OpenCV for real-time image processing and MediaPipe for accurate hand tracking, ensuring smooth and precise gesture recognition.By eliminating the need for a physical mouse, this project enhances hygiene, accessibility, and user convenience.It is particularly beneficial for individuals with physical disabilities, public environments where reducing touch is essential, and futuristic applications in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).The primary objective is to develop a fast, efficient, and user-friendly alternative to conventional pointing devices, improving human-computer interaction.With its potential for integration in gaming, smart home control, and professional presentations, the Virtual Mouse using Hand Gestures paves the way for a more interactive and touch-free digital experience
