Abstract
This article discusses how to use hand gestures in human-computer interaction. People, who are not very accustomed with computers, find this method much more intuitive than using the mouse or keyboard. The evaluation that we performed confirms this, human subjects who participated in the experiment showed that they can be pleased by possibility to give common commands easier.
