  Hi #-Link-Snipped-# are you talking about NI's LabView? I am not sure if it has module for motion detection but you can interface your camera signal to PC and use that signal in LabView.

  yes sir i am talking about LabVIEW. thank you for replying... but i searched ni.com and found that it is possible to implement using it. but i am not able to get sufficient resources...

  In this month NI is going to arrange one seminar at my place I am planning to attend this event and I will put your query in-front of them may we have some better solutions.

  thank you so much sir... it is very kind of you. i hope your information will be helpful to me.

  You can use sensors to do so too i believe. Proximity sensors can serve this purpose. They can detect movement around your gadget and analyse the pattern of the signal. you can then program them to do particular task. I hope this must be close.

  Yes it is. Thank you. You mean to say i could construct the system to work within a particular distance.
  Alright. But i need my system to detect the motion of the hand. And not just detect the presence of an object. Hope you get my point...and the difficulty involved..

  Yes I understand your idea. Its good one. Do you happen to know any kind of sensors that are sensitive to touch on the surface which can be deployed on the body of the gadget itself. Not the screen touch type. I think that sort of thing can help you too.

  Use telemetry sensors or IR sensors they can easily detect the variations in the position of the hand at any instant time
  
  Another solution is having a low frequency IR source and a receiver If the source is altered(moved) Then the intensity of IR received by the Receiver will vary and thereby you can detect the motion of hand

  thank you for the information... will try to implement any of your ideas.

  I dont know if this is available but I am giving it a try
  
  Is there any sensor available to detect touch on surface of gadgets? That can serve the purpose. Like touchscreen on mobiles. You are working on gesture control, this sensor can help for this project.

  hmmm... i haven't heard about any such sensor... but i ll try see if i can find any.

  mate direct interface is not possible but we have tech to do that for us
  
  Vibrations Turn Any Surface Into Responsive Touch-Screen

  This is you are talking about making screen as touch sensitive. My doubt was a sensor which will make the body of any gadget, touch sensitive, Like a Coffee Machine or Radio or Juicer, mixer etc.

  Making a plain surface touch sensitive is itself not easy so irregular objects
  
  And what is the use of having an irregular object touch sensitive
  
  PS: We are drifting away from topic gesture can easily be sensed using intensity of radiation tx and Rx that will be the easiest to do

  Cyborg 009

  3 Axis Accelerometer can sense tilt & acceleration..
  It can be built into a hand glove\ attached under palm for sensing hand movements...
