In this work we proposed approaches and algorithms to use CG for gesture recognition. We created a software platform for gesture recognition, including algorithms and software implementation of the artificial neural cortex. We showed how effective the approaches are and suggested further development of this area. This results may have important social implications, which further allows one to create devices for hearing impaired and deaf people; the devices will provide a way for that people to interact with information and service systems and with other people, unfamiliar with the language of gestures.
