Gauntlet of uComputation

The project involves an experiment in implementing a human-computer interface by tracking finger and wrist motions.

Brief:

"Ever wish you could control a computer just by moving your fingers or your hand?"

We did.

The primary goal is to design and build a functional prototype implementing an intuitive interface for a user to interact with a computer (or computing device). The MCU provides a control module for direct access to the sensors and currently acts as the computer role of the human-computer interface. To demonstrate the interface, some sample demo applications include:
A calculator
A monitor
A stopwatch
A rock-paper-scissors game
This project required us to create analog and amplifier circuits in addition to the software modules. Our goals were to create a streamlined device with a low profile, low weight, low power consumption, and comfortable to wear.
