    This paper presents an interactive drone game which is controlled by bare hand gestures. A typical handheld or gamepad remote controller bids inconvenience due to unnatural hand movements of the pilot. This study removes the use of handheld controllers and instead employ a contact less hand gesture device for drone control. Several applications can be explored like task designation in a multi-drone system for construction, inspection and relief operations. The drone is controlled using a PID controller which maintains a given trajectory which is determined by the hand gesture of the controller. The platform chosen by this research is an interactive game of two drones which fire IR lasers. The objective of the game is to hit the opponent with the laser emission. This platform showcases the accurateness and reliability of the hand gesture control system by controlling a real time drone application. The accuracy and precision of the movements based on the gesture of the pilot will be tested through simulations and actual implementations
