Abstract: Recognition of hand gestures has great importance for Human-computer interaction (HCI). The human hand is very small with complex junctions compared with the entire human body, hence recognizing the human hand is not an easy task. By using the hand gesture recognition the hand point/coordinates of hands can be detected using which we can make many impossible happens. Our work indicates one such finding, that is, VIRTUAL PAINTER. In our project, the main objective is to display the words on the monitor screen which we write on air in front of the webcam. This is done by recognizing the human hand through the normal webcam of a computer and the hand points are detected using the MediaPipe python library. Using the detected hand points the count of opened fingers is stored. When the index and middle fingers are open it means it is in Selection mode and when only the index finger is open it is in drawing mode. In Selection mode, the colors using which we want to draw can be selected from the list of colors that are made displayed on the screen. In drawing mode, the content that is written in front of the camera on air is drawn on the monitor screen. The application of this implementation can be used in many places where immediate implementation or explanation is needed.
