In this paper, a colour based approach is applied to support the use of hand gestures for controlling a computer. A proof of concept is provided for a cost effective and an easy to implement approach to interact with computers by making use of a single webcam. Functions such as zooming, panning, scrolling and cursor navigation can be performed.
