As technology continues to develop, traditional methods of teaching are too often
insufficient to meet the requirements of the modern classroom. Thankfully, there are
emerging and interactive technologies such as Interactive TV which are setting the table
for new forms of teaching, which are engaging and effective. This paper proposes an
Interactive Smart TV using Voice Command, Facial Recognition, & Hand Gesture Control
that enhances classroom discussions as well as teaching effectiveness. The system is
available for a hand gesture-based air mouse that enabled presentation control, which
means instructors can use hand movement to move using pre-defined hand gesture-based
air mouse. Application interaction with applications like PowerPoint, excel, google
chrome, wps office, and YouTube Voice command activation system readily available with
the pre-defined commands. In addition, facial recognition is used to access faculty
members with hand gestures and voice commands.
It integrates these features into a practical Smart Tv system for an actual execution
in electrical engineering classroom in the Technological University of the Philippines
(TUP) Manila with the aid of software development methods. From November 2024 to
April 2025, this system will undergo functionality and usability testing involving faculty
members. This research contributes to the development of innovative educational
technology by providing a versatile, interactive and effective response in teaching.
