Abstract

In this paper, we describe the "soft remote control system" that provides easy control of home installed appliances to improve the inhabitant\´s comfort. This system is feasible to control various home appliances naturally by recognizing the user\´s hand gestures in the "intelligent sweet home". The user selects the device that he/her wants to control by pointing it with his/her hand. Then, the user can command operation of the desired function via a predefined hand gesture. The approach complements the inconvenience of the conventional remote controllers giving additional freedom to persons with movement deficits and people without disabilities.
