Project Concept

• This project will be a wearable glove which can
  detect hand movements for use as an input device.
• The device will use accelerometer data to detect
  hand movement and use the Telos Mote to
  wirelessly communicate this data.
• Ideally, wed like to be able to detect finger
  movement/positioning and to be able to connect
  this device via Bluetooth to the Nintendo Wii.

Requirements

• Take accelerometer data and interpret it into
  movements
• Detect finger movements/positioning with push
  buttons, photoelectric sensors, magnetic sensors
  (?)
• Read and interpret data in under 50 ms
• Glove and all gear should weigh under 2 lbs
• Glove should stay together under extreme Wii use.
