This is an introductory course to learn about hand gesture-based devices that can be used as alternate control devices for PC mouse or to navigate a mobility device.
• Learn about alternate PC control.
• Learn about inertia measurement sensors, HID devices, and how to convert a normal microcontroller to a PC HID device.
• Learn more about the people with limited hand movements and their requirements.
• Learn about Bluetooth wireless communication
• Learn about IMU sensors, Motor controller boards, and Bluetooth modules.
• Learn about AT commands and configuration.
• Learn how gestures can be converted to mobility.
1) A wearable gesture-controlled mouse that helps to access a Windows PC without a mouse/keyboard. The microcontroller mimics an HID device and does the mouse movements.
2) A wearable hand gesture device that includes a gyro sensor & microcontroller, which converts gyro values to corresponding motor movements and sends the data to an RC car via Bluetooth.
• Basic C/C++ programming skill
• Basic understanding of sensors and other electronics
