Abstract:

 In this project a virtual keyboard system, which is cost effective, user friendly and uses OpenCV for computer

interaction. This Virtual keyboard was designed to reduce the cost of integrating touch screen technology with desktops and

laptops by utilizing a web cam to track hand movement. As such, typing movements are recognized by OpenCV algorithms

from video feed and produces an interface on the monitor that simulates typing. Real-time visual feedback increases the

system’s ease of use because users can instantly see how their gestures have been interpreted. The suggested system provides

alternative low-cost ways individuals can interact with computers without having to learn specific techniques. Thus, making it

possible to reach more customers through minimal hardware requirements and using OpenCV’s powers. Since this system

makes a conventional computer more enjoyable; it should be tested to determine its level of accuracy and efficacy. Its

uncomplicated nature combined with its low-price ranges makes this regime perfect for learning institutions as well as other

job organizations where touchscreen may not be practical or affordable enough.
