5. Results Tasks were completed 100% Most users enjoyed using a Gestured-based application

6. Future Work Will consider using more than just hand gestures Example: nodding to accept request, waving to proceed to next task, etc. Allow users to select these tasks on their own television screen instead of computer screen
