Advanced Hand Gesture Controlled Television Using Data
Abstract
Human interaction with wearable computers is a challenging research issue,
especially when combined with augmented reality applications. Natural interaction with
various devices should be simple and at the same time intuitive for any user. This project
represents the design and implementation of a novel interactive hardware which recognizes
certain hand gestures and responds in a way of controlling a remote television. The hardware
is made as a data glove with an accelerometer and stretch sensor attached to it. Control
parameters are calculated by an accelerometer and stretch sensor mounted on the glove,
which detects positions of a user’s palm in a 3D space. Slow palm rotation is translated into
commands for the volume control, ON/OFF, and channel switching. RF transmitter
connected to the accelerometer sends the current palm and hand coordinates to the remote
unit. The TV control is managed by an RF receiver and microcontroller which translates the
received data to TV commands.
