This paper presents a real time fingertip tracking method used for immersive application. The first step of the method consists of segmenting the input image captured by a video camera and detects the area representing the human hand. The latter one is identified by means of skin color detection method. The output of the first step is a black and white image where the hand area is coloured in black while the background is in white. In the second step, the hand shape is analysed and the fingertips are detected using convex-hull method. The barycentre of the fingertips is then calculated and to estimate the position of the hand. Using the estimated position in each frame, many applications belonging to human computer interaction and immersive domains could be proposed. In this paper, we propose an immersive application which consists of moving virtual objects according to the estimated hand position.
