description: This research is aim to focus on IoT based hand gesture model. Mouse is one of the most important input devices of a computer. It works as a pointing device and allows the user to move the pointer as needed by the user. In the early days, a wired mechanical mouse was used for this purpose. In mechanical mouse a ball is fixed underneath the mouse, which rotates as the user moves the mouse. This movement of the ball is used to move the mouse pointer on the screen. Now mostly we use optical mouse which can be wired or wireless. An optical mouse has a high-power laser below it, which takes more than thousand pictures of the surface below the mouse. An image comparator compares the images and sends the signal to move the mouse pointer as the texture of the image changes. Both the types of mouse works based on old technology. As technology leaps to greater heights, the need for simplicity also increases. With the invention of different kind of sensors, microcontrollers and other electronics, we can eliminate the mouse as an input device and instead use our hands to do the work of a mouse. This prototype is an embedded system which runs with the help of an arduino microcontroller. Flex sensors are used to capture the hand gestures. The proposed IoT based hand gesture model is providing high accuracy rate compare to the regular model. The proposed model is analyzed with accuracy level, the average accuracy level of proposed model is more than 90%. 2025 IEEE.
