Gesture Interface Glove
University of Glasgow
Real Time Embedded Programming: Raspberry PI Assignment

Demonstration video

Tutor: Bernd Porr
Students: Xiangpeng Liang, Zhong Lu, Chenhan Ye

Introduction

  This project aims to attach flex sensors to the glove, and drive the sensor to deform through the bending of the finger, displaying the physical input value on the screen. After calibration, simple gesture games (Rock-Paper-Scissor) can be realized in the current system. Also, this system is suitable for exploitation for various gesture control applications.
Sampling rate: 441Hz for five sensors and 2205Hz for one sensor
Power coumption: 3.3W

Making it work

Hardware: Raspberry Pi B+,PCB, 5 flex sensors on a glove
System: 2017-03-02-raspbian-jessie-lite
Install: Git, xorg
Library: bcm2835, Qwt, Qt 4.8

To clone the git repository:

git clone https://github.com/pppxp/Gesture-Interface.git

To build:

cd Gesture-Interaface
qmake
make

To run (assuming you are logged into the RPi over ssh and no X-server is running):

startx ./Gesture
