If you're making a DIY electronics project and need some type of input, Hover is a simple little add-on that makes it easy to add gesture and touch controls to your projects.

The controller consists of a battery-powered Arduino MKR1000 with WiFi and an MPU6050 accelerometer. Held in the hand, the controller streams accelerometer data to an external PC, capturing the ...

An accelerometer reads hand motions and sends them via an RF module to an Arduino. This is a bit of a trick, because the device produces an analog value and [Saddam] uses some comparators to ...

Negm has also equipped the Arduino power door lock with a 1Sheeld enabling it to interface with the smartphone to read the device’s accelerometer data, and then activate the servo when it ...

The Gesture Keyboard is a device that translates gestures into letters. It’s made by an Arduino Pro Micro, an HC-06 module for Bluetooth communication, and an MPU-6050 accelerometer.

To this an Arduino Nano was added to control some motors as well as sensors used to detect hand movements.

The accelerometer uses sensors to detect the motion and speed of your hand, while the connected Arduino board will pick up on your motions and work out the commands.

Researchers at Carnegie Melon University demonstrated a novel means of tracking gestures from a smartwatch -- a high-precision accelerometer.
