Introduction “A wireless mouse unit that requires no flat surface by using ultrasonic positioning.” For our ECE 4760 final project,we have designed a surface-less mouse interface using ultrasonic transmission as our final project in this class. The idea is to have a ultrasonic transmitter as a mouse, which represents the mouse’s position in space, with […]

Kang Li(kl694) and Zhenxuan Qiu(zq39) For our ECE 4760 final projec, we built a pair of toy “cat ears” using electroencephalography (EEG) with the AVR microcontroller. The basic function of it is that it can change the gesture of the “Ears” based on the participant’s emotion. The user doesn’t need to do anything except for

For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built a drum trainer that can be attached to most Japanese drum surface and will detect and wirelessly transmit different drum hit types to other players’ drum trainers. The trainer is able to determine whether the user makes a “Loud Beat”, a “Soft Beat”, or a

Our final project for ECE 4760 is a respiratory monitor that was designed for low-resource environments. The device calculates a patient’s breathing rate by detecting changes in temperature when the patient breathes through a mask. Features of the device include an alarm through a piezoelectric speaker which goes off when the patient stops breathing, and

For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built a wireless computer pointing device with accelerometer based movement control. Our implementation allows the user to wear a set of hardware (a glove and connected armband) and control a cursor through different hand orientations and finger presses. Users can operate their computers with their hands

An Introduction “A glove embedded with accelerometers to play a hand motion-controlled chess game” project soundbyte For our ECE 4760 final project, our team designed and built a system with the ability to play the game of chess using embedded gloves. Each player wears a glove (there are two gloves for two players) and uses

Introduction We created a device that determines the RGB content of a surface and then speaks the color or plays a musical tone at the sound frequency mapped to the color. The device can convert the color to sound directly or function as a cassette player that plays through a tape of colors. The user

Our final project is to build a multifunctional music box. This music box can generate different songs in different instrument sounds, i.e. piano, organ, by FM synthesis. The theme and harmony are in two different channels. Besides, the music box can also be electrical piano by which users can play their own music, the piano

Introduction For our ECE 4760 Final Project, we use an infrared LED and phototransistor armband to detect muscle inflections in arm and wrist movement which are used to manipulate the volume and speed of pre recorded songs. By pumping your fist, you will change the speed at which the song is playing. Isolated wrist movements

Introduction For our final project in ECE 4760, we designed and implemented a Reversi board consisting of hardware, a microcontroller, and a touch screen. Sixty-four bicolor (red and green) LEDs were implemented as the black and white pieces of the game. Players could simply light up a LED (place a piece) by touching the touch
