Abstract
This short paper describes some initial work to create a simple hand gesture recognition system for a powered wheelchair. It is employed to assist people with mobility issues to drive a powered wheelchair. It replaces a standard joystick with hand gestures. Infrared sensors detect simple gestures and they are categorized in order to assist in driving a powered wheelchair. Some initial technical testing and results are described.
