## Abstract (arXiv)

This study introduces an advanced gesture recognition and user interface (UI) interaction system powered by deep learning, highlighting its transformative impact on UI design and functionality. By utilizing optimized convolutional neural networks (CNNs), the system achieves high-precision gesture recognition, significantly improving user interactions with digital interfaces. The process begins with preprocessing collected gesture images to meet CNN input requirements, followed by sophisticated feature extraction and classification techniques. To address class imbalance, we employ Focal Loss as the loss function, ensuring robust model performance across diverse gesture types. Experimental results demonstrate notable improvements in model metrics, with the Area Under the Curve (AUC) and Recall metrics improving as we transition from simpler models like VGG16 to more advanced ones such as DenseNet. Our enhanced model achieves strong AUC and Recall values, outperforming standard benchmarks. Notably, the system's ability to support real-time and efficient gesture recognition paves the way for a new era in UI design, where intuitive user gestures can be seamlessly integrated into everyday technology use, reducing the learning curve and enhancing user satisfaction. The implications of this development extend beyond technical performance to fundamentally reshape user-technology interactions, underscoring the critical role of gesture-based interfaces in the next generation of UI development. Such advancements promise to significantly enhance smart life experiences, positioning gesture recognition as a key driver in the evolution of user-centric interfaces.
