Abstract
Gesture control plays an increasingly significant role in modern human-machine interactions. This paper presents an innovative method of gesture recognition using flexible capacitive pressure sensor attached on user’s wrist towards computer vision and connecting senses on fingers. The method is based on the pressure variations around the wrist when the gesture changes. Flexible and ultrathin capacitive pressure sensors are deployed to capture the pressure variations. The embedding of sensors on a flexible substrate and obtain the relevant capacitance require a reliable approach based on a microcontroller to measure a small change of capacitive sensor. This paper is addressing these challenges, collect and process the measured capacitance values through a developed programming on LabVIEW to reconstruct the gesture on computer. Compared to the conventional approaches, the wrist-worn sensing method offerings a low-cost, lightweight and wearable prototype on the user’s body. The experimental result shows that the potentiality and benefits of this approach and confirms that accuracy and number of recognizable gestures can be improved by increasing number of sensor.
