        abstract = {The Virtual Mouse with Hand Gesture is a human-computer interaction solution that enables the operation of mouse functions without the need for physical mouse hardware, through the utilization of hand gestures recorded by a camera. The proposed design utilizes computer vision and machine learning algorithms to identify hand points, interpret gestures, and translate them to mouse functions such as cursor movement, left mouse click, right mouse click, double mouse click, mouse scroll, and drag and drop functions on a real-time basis. Frames of the video are processed to identify significant points on the hand, which are further distinguished through a predetermined model of the gesture recognition algorithm to ensure the accuracy and smooth operation of the proposed design. In the experimental study of the proposed design, the accuracy of 98.6%, precision of 97.9%, and recall of 98.2% were realized, which indicates excellent reliable results of the gesture recogniion process.},
