Hands Skin Segmentation and Tracking for Interaction with an Augmented Reality Entity

Time invested in education has been growing in recent years and it is a subject of interest not only for schools, but also for companies, due to the time and money saved because of a correct understanding of the development of an activity. To contribute to learning, different techniques for the development of learning objects have been investigated. Novel techniques involve the use of augmented reality. In this research paper, the implantation of two innovative areas belonging to the computer science to support the learning process is presented: augmented reality and image processing. Through augmented reality we project virtual entities to the user computer screen and through image processing techniques, we perform the detection of an object that allows the interaction with the virtual entity without the need to use any special equipment.
