Introduction Most homes across the world lack a security system of any sort. The goal of our project was to design a simple security system using the Atmel AVR ATmega1284p microcontroller that most people could build without too much hassle for an affordable price. This project uses a few external peripherals to accomplish this goal; […]

Introduction Several different approaches have been explored in developing a system to track eye movements. These approaches span from measuring reflections of infrared light to using advanced imaging techniques to monitor specific features within the eye. While a variety of reports exist on measuring infrared reflections off of the eye, the long term effects of

Introduction We designed and built a glove to be worn on the right hand that uses a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm to translate sign language into spoken English. Every person’s hand is a unique size and shape, and we aimed to create a device that could provide reliable translations regardless of those differences. Our device

Introduction What is seeing without feeling? The field of Virtual Reality has recently been gaining much attention, with the Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard paving the path of visualizing a world that is not physically there. But what if the virtual reality experience could be enhanced by incorporating tactile sensing? The Haptic Glove we developed

INTRODUCTION In the modern American classic, Rocky IV, Ivan Drago (portrayed by Dolph Lundgren) is shown utilizing a then-futuristic electronic punch meter (in addition to anabolic steroids) in his quest to triumph over Rocky in one of the Cold War’s only face to face confrontations. While we dispensed with the communist symbolism (and controlled substances)
Introduction There are very few ways to improve one’s skills in conducting a live band. Practicing by conducting a real band requires coordination of many people and conducting along to pre-recorded songs does not provide feedback on the accuracy of the conductor’s selected tempo. The system we designed uses a glove with an accelerometer to

For our 4760 final project, we built a virtual bowling game interface on a black and white Television in which the ball can be controlled by the glove which has the flex sensors and the accelerometer attached to it. There are 5 flex sensors on the glove to detect the ball grasped and the ball
For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built a bicycle dashboard which displays the cyclist’s pedaling power, speed, cadence, and distance to enhance training. The major motivation of this project was to replicate a commercial product at a dramatically reduced price point. A commercial power meter costs around $1000 for just the instrumented
Introduction For our final project, we have decided to use the microcontroller provided to make a device which would measure body fat percentage of one’s body. The basic principle behind this project is known as bioelectrical impedance analysis. This technique uses a small alternating current flowing between two electrodes attached to skin surface to determine

Introduction Musical Instrument Digital Interface, or MIDI, is a standard that describes a protocol, digital interface and specific physical connections that allow electronic music devices and computers to communicate with each other. For our final project, we created a MIDI glove that is capable of connecting to a virtual synthesizer on our computer and controlling
