Abstract
Hand recognition is used to distinguish among users of gesture-based computer systems, and particularly between adults and children. Hands may be classified as adults or children based on certain physical characteristics, such as hand size, shape, or curvature. Depending upon whether the hand belongs to an adult or a child, user-appropriate interfaces are provided. For instance, in response to detecting a presence of a child, the interface may include more child-appropriate features such as simpler graphical elements, use of basic audio interfaces, and so forth.
