Gesture Controlled Mouse Using Arduino

Abstract

In today's era human-machine interaction is becoming widespread. So, with the introduction of new technologies the gap between machines and humans is being reduced to ease the standard of living. Gestures have played a crucial role in diminishing this gap. This project deals with design and implementation of an accelerometer based hand gesture controlled robot controlled wirelessly using a small low cost, 3-axis accelerometer. A novel algorithm for gesture identification has been developed to replace the approach of conventional controlling mechanism of robots via buttons etc. by an innovative hand gesture based controlling. Using a microcontroller system the program has been written & executed. In the existing system, human hand movements are sensed by the robot through sensors and it follow the same. As the person moves their hand, the accelerometer also moves accordingly sensor displaces and this sensor senses the parameter according to the position of hand.
