Abstract

This research is about glove mouse as wearable computer pointing device which connect to computer wirelessly. The main purpose of this project is to demonstrate the accelerometer that worked as sensor to detect and translate hand and finger motions into computer interpreted signals. This computer pointing device is used with accelerometer based hand movement. The implementation of accelerometer to mouse is to allow the user to control cursor through different hand orientations and finger presses. This mouse can operate the computer by moving their hands in the midair without any wire and did not need to hassle the desks surfaces. In this research, 3-axis accelerometer is chosen to be used to sense hand gestures. Basically, 3-axis accelerometer makes hand orientation in X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis. Z-axis purpose is to control roller. In addition, information of hand and finger movement is transmitted wirelessly via the Bluetooth device to the computer. The software in computer is allowing the glove to be used as a mouse pointing device. The software running on the computer will translate all these kind of movements into mouse cursor movement. The accelerometer will sense a user's hand movement and process it, then transmit the movement data through Bluetooth communication to the user computer. The computer then translates these data to actual mouse cursor movement.
