Show hands！

You Win！

Inspiration

Nowadays game players have multiple ways to interact with computers, like mice, keyboards, or game controllers. We want to create an innovative way to bring more joy to gamers, for example, by using hand gestures.

What it does

"Show-hand!" is a smart glove that allows the computer to recognize the movement of the player's hand. "Show-hand!" reads the motion of the player's hand via a gyroscope and the player's hand gesture via sensors.

How we built it

We adopted an Arduino Uno as the microcontroller and an Adafruit LCD screen to display. We also stick 3 flex sensors to the fingers of the glove to recognize if the fingers are bent or stretched. We used a gyroscope to check the hand movement. We designed two games to demonstrate the application of the smart glove which are the "Doodle jump" game and the "Rock-scissor-paper" game.

Challenges we ran into

We met difficulties when we were trying to stick the flex sensors to the glove and make sure the flex sensors running correctly. We also had trouble when we were dealing with the limited number of I/O pins.
