With the advent of artificial intelligence, deep learning has been continuously evolving. It has progressed from its initial stages, exemplified by AlphaGo, to the development of related technologies exclusively centred around deep learning for the game of Go. Subsequently, deep learning has found applications in an increasing number of domains, including healthcare, sports, and more. This paper delves into the profound influence and development of deep learning as the foundation for analysing its impact on gesture recognition. Deep learning has brought about significant advancements in this field, enabling more precise and versatile gesture recognition systems. Furthermore, we explore specific use cases and contexts where deep learning has been harnessed, such as in medical diagnostics and sports performance analysis. While scrutinizing these applications, a promising future for deep learning becomes evident, with the potential to revolutionize various industries and enhance technology interaction through the development of more intuitive and sophisticated gesture recognition systems. The continuous growth and evolution of deep learning offer a bright prospect for the future of human-machine interfaces and artificial intelligence-driven solutions.
