Abstract
In this era, technology has advanced significantly and had a huge impact on society. In today’s a successful person is one who has good presentation skills and knows how to present their ideas whether they are a student businessman or a worker in the company. So PowerPoint is the best and most effective way to present their presentation and the presenter can easily convey their idea and information to the audience. The presenter can move slides with the keyboard or with any other remote to present but the presenter has less interaction with the audience. So we aimed to control the PowerPoint presentation using hand gestures. This system helps the user control the PowerPoint with hand recognition and can easily change the slides without touching the computer or remote. This system helps the presenter to present their presentation in a more interactive and effective way and also the presenter can totally focus on their idea and forget the worry of changing the slides. Through this, a presenter can move around the room and easily interact with each person. On the other hand, controlling slides with hand gestures is far better than controlling with a remote. The system would use a good quality camera to capture the image of the presenter's hand and recognize it, then the action performs and slides move accordingly the action. This system uses a machine learning algorithm to perform tasks like moving slides next or previous, playing and pausing the videos, and zooming in or out.
