GESTURE Devices

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
  • • Build a club project on maze solving robot
