Or just a simple webcam

Hello, you don’t have to use kinect.
But my answer depend on if you want to implement the pogram by yourself or not.
I worked with kinect (but not using fingers, just with the person itself). An another option is use OpenCV. Maybe it seems to be difficult, but it is not. You just have to teach your program (using pictures) detect your hand.

I hope this will help you or here you can download
