Abstract:

For body-borne computing to become more widely accepted, the associated Human- Computer Interface must move past today’s mechanical devices such as keyboard, mouse and other handheld interfaces to allow the users to specify input through their body. Accordingly, there is an invention of a body-borne system which can track hand gestures with an accelerometer to control the cursor. This project aims to deliver the maneuver of mouse pointer and performs various operations using gesture recognition and wireless communication. This paper describes an alternative to interact with computer, for those who do not want to or are not able to use conventional HCI (human computer interface). An accelerometer device is used to detect the position in X, Y direction caused by movement of device mount on the wrist, as referred to acceleration due to gravity. Accelerometer output is converted to digital form with analog to digital converter of microcontroller and it is further connected to the 433 MHz RF module transmitter which is used to transmit the wireless signal to the RF module receiver. Receiver receives signal from transmitting end and which is transferred to microcontroller, then to PC, which uses TTL to RS232 line driver to interface controller to the PC. In PC, MATLAB code for cursor control in response to accelerometer movement is developed. This simple low cost, low power inertial sensor based mouse with wireless capability offers ease of use.
