title: Gesture Recognition OpenCV ( for media player )
body: <p>Can someone please help me out with how exactly to start from scratch for using OpenCV for hand gesture recognition? We're basically creating a media player that can function with hand gestures (simple functions such as play, pause, volume up/down etc). </p>
  
  <p>I've installed OpenCV and also EmguCV after visiting one of the links mentioned in the questions, but I need to know how exactly do I get webcam on to detect my hand and gestures.</p>
