If you can, maybe avoid the file on harddisk and talk directly to the BBB. The simplest way might be to create a socket connection over WIFI... you could have the BBB host the socket server and connect to it from the host computer using the exposed IP and port. You can then send data through the socket connection to the BBB.
For gesture control, I recommend using something like a Leap Motion or Myo armband. OpenCV would also work, but you'll be spending a lot of time dealing with issues associated with vision-based systems and even then, it will only work in certain rigid lighting conditions.
