This paper describes a human-friendly interface based on hand gesture. Using two USB pan-tilt cameras, this system enables the user to operate home appliances with hand pointing and ten hand motions free from the user's position. The main contribution of the system lies in its user-friendly initialization methods including interaction between the user and the system. The user can initialize or modify the map describing the location of home appliances to control simply by hand gesture. Embedded feedback mechanism enhances the overall performance by adjusting user's miss pointing.
