Abstract
A gesture-controlled wheelchair is beneficial to a physically disabled person. Though there is an incredible leap in the field of wheelchair technology, these advances haven’t been able to help steer wheelchair unaided—the wheelchair which can be operated by effortless hand signals. The user can control the wheelchair using the have movements and construes the motion calculated by the user and directs the wheelchair accordingly. It also aims at making the system wireless by using ZigBee that creates a personal area network for transfer of data wirelessly.
