Abstract :
We introduce a touchless input device and gesture commands for operating a PC that negates the need to touch it or wear input devices to use it. We use a distance sensor to capture gestures, making the device very simple. This system is practical enough to use for viewer operation, so it is applicable for not only PCs, but also audiovisual devices like TVs and HDD recorders.
