Abstract
The use of hand gestures provides an attractive alternative to cumbersome interface devices for human-computer interaction. A complete embedded system which facilitates the data acquisition, analysis, recognition, and the transmission wirelessly, of human dynamic gestures to a computer, is described. An intuitive algorithm for processing the accelerometer data was implemented and tested. This method permits all the analysis to be done by the embedded system processor. The system is capable of recognizing gestures involving a combination of straight line motions in three dimensions. These gestures are then used to control a host computer which executes tasks based on the gesture received. A sample application showing how the gestures can be mapped to the English alphabet is also shown.
