For existing human computer interaction (HCI) techniques, keyboards and mice are probably the best-known input devices. However, these two devices constrain dexterity and naturalness while we interact with computer-controlled applications. This limitation becomes more apparent when we employ these devices in virtual reality applications. Thus, there has been a tremendous push in research toward novel input devices and techniques to find a more natural and friendly way to interact with computers, in recent years. Within this research, the analysis of hand motion has attracted much attention among computer animation and virtual reality researchers since hands can easily and naturally perform many complex tasks.

Further, hands can express our feelings and allow us to non-verbally communicate with others through gesture. The human hand is a very complex and delicate mechanical structure with about 30 degrees of freedom, which varies among individuals. Consequently, successfully modeling a human hand for interpretation by computer becomes a necessary and significant task.
