ECE 110/120 Honors Lab Section : Mouse Glove

Project Proposal Guideline

1. Introduction
   
   
   1. Statement of Purpose
      
      

      In some sci-fi movies, we see how characters can use their hands in 3D space to touch the screen. A solution to that scene is to build a mouse glove that is able to replace mouse using gestures like taps and slides. Also in recent year, new inventions like VR come into our lives. This project can be very useful as we are entering the era of virtual reality, where controls need to be more intuitive and effective. We believe that our project will be a perfect replacement for a mouse that will prevail the era of VR.

      Former companies like 'Gest' industrialize some similar products but they are not into the market yet. Their products are a bit too complex to be manufactured but also contain a lot of extra functions like a "mouse keyboard". We want to build a simple product to replace only the mouse so it can be easily manufactured and go in the market.

   1. Block Diagram / Flow Chart
      
      
   2. System Overview
      
      The touch sensor pick up any touches and the gyrosscope pick up the direction the hand is going. Both sensors send signals to the Arduino. Arduino process the signal the transfer them to a signal that can control the mouse of a PC and sended out by the bluetooth module on the Arduino to PC.
   3. Sensors:
            Adafruit 12-Key Capacitive Touch Sensor Breakout - MPR121, 
           3-Axis Gyroscope Sensor BMG160, 
           Arduino UNO, 
           HC05 Bluetooth Emitter
           Battery
   4. Logical component:
      2:4 Decoder made of NAND(SN74LS00N) and INVERTER(SN74LS04N)
      
      
3. Possible Challenges
   
   Not familiar to all sensors components.
   Detect 3D movements using Gyroscope.
   Integrate all sensors into Arduino.
