Abstract
A computerized method is provided for user authentication using hand gestures. Multiple points on a user's hand can be tracked using cameras or various sensors and the motion of those points in space and relative to each other can used to create gesture-based passwords. Such user authentication techniques have advantages in augmented and virtual reality applications where traditional text-based passwords may be difficult. Gesture-based user authentication can be augmented with physical characteristics of the specific user's fingers and hands including size, shape, and distinguishing marks to enhance security.
