Abstract: In this paper, a new approach for hand tracking and gesture recognition based on the Leap Motion device and surface electromyography (SEMG) is presented. The system is about to process the depth image information and the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles on forearm. The purpose of such combination is enhancement in the gesture recognition rate. As a first we analyse the conventional approaches toward hand tracking and gesture recognition and present the results of various researches. Successive topic gives brief overview of depth-sensing cameras with focus on Leap motion device where we test its accuracy of fingers recognition. The vision-SEMG-based system is to be potentially applicable to many areas of human computer interaction.
