 ABOUT

KEYWORDS:
 Arduino, Media Player ( VLC )

AIM:
 To control a Media Player
 To overcome drawbacks by traditional Human – Computer
Interaction.
 INTRODUCTION
 ROBOTICS
 Human Machine Interface( HMI )
 Man Machine Interaction: Using Hand Gestures

 Why Hand Gestures ?

Reduces Complexity
User Friendly Environment
 REQUIREMENTS
SOFTWARE
 Python Programming Language
 Libraries : Pyserial , PyAutoGUI
 Serial Communication

HARDWARE
 Arduino UNO X 1
 Ultrasonic Sensors X 2
 USB Cable
 Connecting Wires
 A Laptop
METHODOLOGY

 Two Ultrasonic sensors with an Arduino.

 Place your hand.
 Calculate the distance.
 Sensors are placed on laptop screen
 Data is collected : Library - PyAutoGUI
 3 STAGES

1. Design of the project

2. Programming your Arduino to detect gestures
3. Python Programming for the project
 WORKING PRINCIPLE

 Gesture Control
 Processing of Data
 Data received by Arduino
 Sent to the Software
 Data is read
 Ultra-Sonic Sensors:
Principle - Sound Waves

 PROGRAMMING OF ARDUINO

5 DIFFERENT TASKS :
PYTHON
PROGRAMMING:
 Play/Pause Video To Invoke Keyboard Click
 Increase Volume Actions
 Decrease Volume
 Switch to Next Tab
 Fast Forward / Slow Motion of Video
 6 HAND GESTURES
PLAY OR PAUSE VOLUME UP/ DOWN SWITCHING OF TABS

FAST FORWARD / SLOW

Connect us with
operation
arduino
Find operation
corresponding to that
gesture

Yes
If hand gestures match
with the data in database
Execute operation
corresponding to that
gesture
 TO OVERCOME : • TRADITIONAL INPUT DEVICES
Drawbacks of • DISABLED PEOPLE
Traditional HMI • SINGLE POINT OF INPUT
• INCREASES COMPLEXITY

DRAWBACKS OF:
• Need to be learned & remembered
HAND GESTURE • Must be correctly recognized
SYSTEM • Lack accuracy
• Use of ultrasonic sensors
APPLICATION
S
 Gaming Technology
 Sign Language Interpretation
 Remote Control
 Robotic Wheel Chairs
 Home Appliances
 CONCLUSION
 Could render traditional input devices

FUTURE SCOPE :
a. Medical Field
b. Public Hand Gesture System

 Comes a time where everything is controlled by gestures
