The emergence of the pandemic has resulted in a tech- nological paradigm shift. The development and use of a virtual mouse in place of a real mouse is one such field of research. This is a step forward in the field of HMI (Human-Machine Interaction). Even if wireless or Bluetooth mouse technology has yet to be established, it is not device-free. A Bluetooth mouse necessitates the usage of a battery and a connected dongle. The presence of additional electronics in a mouse makes it more difficult to use. This system takes frames using a webcam or built-in camera, analyses them to make them trackable, and then detects and performs mouse functions based on the hand gestures performed by users. As a result, the suggested mouse system eliminates the need for a device. Recently, laptops and computers that can be used with gestures have become very popular. This method is referred to as leap motion. We can control some of a computer or laptop’s features by waving our hand in front of it. Computer-based presentations have a number of advantages over overheads and slides. Presentations can be made better by using audio, video, and even interactive programs. Unfortunately, adopting these methods requires more effort than simply using slides or overheads. The speaker is required to use a variety of gadgets with foreign controls (such as a keyboard, mouse, and VCR remote control). These instruments are hard to see in the dark, and adjusting them ruins the display. The most natural and simple way to communicate is through hand gestures. The output of the camera will be seen on the monitor. The idea is to control mouse cursor functions without the usage of a traditional or standard mouse. Using merely a camera, the Virtual Mouse creates a connection between the user and the system. Without the use of mechanical or physical tools, it enables users to interact with equipment and even manage mouse functions. This study describes a technique for moving the pointer without using any electronic devices. While numerous hand motions will be used to perform tasks like clicking and dragging objects. The suggested system will just need a webcam as an input device. The proposed system will necessitate the use of Python, OpenCV, and other technologies. The system’s screen will display the output from the camera so that the user can further calibrate it.
