Windows Phone 7 is one of this generation's newest smart phones. Competing against the top operating systems of today, such as IOS and Android, WP7 has been trying to broaden the range of their applications. With the current situation, the authors of this dissertation focuses on creating an application that would move between screens (left to right, and vice-versa) and call a contact in speed dial. Through extensive study and consultation to Windows Phone app developers and programmers, the authors were able to create an application supporting hand gesture recognition using the Window Phone 7 camera which has two features namely the moving of screen and calling a contact. The mobile app was tested in two Windows Phone units using the front and back camera. The functions of each gestures were executed below two seconds.
