Gesture based (Non-contact) operation of electrical appliances is becoming increasingly desired technology. Various kinds of domestic appliances are used in households, industries and offices. These devices are mostly controlled by human hand with manual switches. This work is focusing on study of electric field (E-field) for advanced proximity sensing which are distorted through hand movements in detecting movements. While compared to the other systems this technology can be employed unobtrusively, work through various materials and do not have a high computational burden also. It allows realization of new user interface applications by detection, tracking and classification of the user’s hand or finger motion in free space.
