Hand Gestures Controlled Car

The idea of this project was to create a car that could be controlled by hand gesture, much like a wii controller if you will. The car will play the role of the server and the controller will be a client. When the car is turned on the program listen for connections over the device's own network. After the remote connects to the car it start sending data using sockets.
