Inspiration
Wanted to build some;thing cool that shows a new way that machinery can be controlled
What it does
It controls the turret depending on how your right hand moves and shoots an elastic depending on how your left hand moves. It includes a location to put a mobile phone on to use as a video streamer.
How I built it
Kinnect to track the hands, C# program with kinnect library to send over the location of the hand via bluetooth. Arduino with Bluetooth module to recieve the bluetooth command and 2 servos to replicate X/Y of hand along with a third to shoot
Challenges I ran into
Making to robot seamleasly copy the hand movement
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Getting the kinnect tracking the hand and replicating the movement in the machine
What I learned
The ability of the kinnect to be used in human-machine interactions is something that is very feasible.
What's next for hand controlled turret
Explosions, misssles, who knows?
