Wear A mouse

Abstract

Our Project „Wear a Mouse‟ is a wireless gesture-based input device that aims to replace the traditional computer mouse. It comprises of two separate units namely the „glove‟ and the „base station‟. The purpose of the glove is to take and process user input from an accelerometer and sensors and send it over the wireless medium to the base station. The purpose of the base station is to receive the data packets sent by the glove, convert them to HID format understandable by the computer and forward the data to the computer through a serial interface. The data then translates into mouse actions on the computer screen. These actions are cursor movements, scrolling, left and right clicking along with other specific functions. Each unit uses a different microcontroller and respective peripheral devices. These include an accelerometer for taking user input, two different microcontrollers for coding and decoding of user input, a set of radio transceivers for wireless communication between the microcontrollers and a microcontroller development board specific to USB based projects.
