Introduction “A new spin on Laser Tag with Wireless Real-Time Updates” For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built our own laser tag system. We included many traditional laser tag features, but then added our own 4760 twist. For the purposes of a prototype for this class, we only created enough equipment for

Introduction Our final project is to design a security system which can be unlocked by means of a stored gesture pattern. The idea is to create a box like assembly, in which the user places his hand, makes a defined gesture and unlocks the system. Basically, there is a mechanism that allows the user to

For our ECE 4760 final project, we choose to develop an electronic push-up trainer that could monitor people’s movement, provide training package to optimize their push-up exercise and body health. A distance meter will be used to figure out whether the posture of the person is correct or not, and the touch screen used will

For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built a running band that provides feedback to users with temperature and vibration. This provides an unique way to monitor running habits with temperature feedback. The running band attaches to a user’s upper arm and counts the number of steps the user takes. It then determines

Introduction We have created an autonomous, servo-controlled fire extinguisher that is capable of aiming photo sensors and a water nozzle along two axes to detect and extinguish candle fires a short distance (about 1 ft.) away using a small burst of water. Our inspiration originally came from thinking about an automated toy sentry turret that

For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built a pointing device with webcam-color-tracking based movement control. Our implementation allows the user to wear a set of finger-sleeves complete with buttons for clicking and scrolling and a red LED for color-tracking cursor control to interface with a computer as a normal mouse would. Users
