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.
