Introduction We created a wearable game controller that uses accelerometers to acquire action of the hand and then maps an action to an arbitrary keystroke. The types of actions we are trying to recognize should be suitable as input control for video games. We placed 3 z-axis accelerometers on tips of the thumb, the index […]

Introduction Our project implements a smart algorithm in order to power a house with a photovoltaic, batteries or the power grid. For this project, we worked closely with a research team whose goal is to power a home with minimal power from the power grid. In order to form this smart home, we needed to

Introduction In short, our project is just an isolated floating plate. Just as our title explained, it is mainly a floating plate that is segregated from all outside vibration using electromagnetic force. This purpose of the project is to design a system that complements common passive shock absorption mechanics and enhances their performance. The main
Introduction The goal of our project is to design a digital oscilloscope with 20 kHz bandwidth. The scopes that we use in ECE 4760 lab cost over one thousand dollars. The motivation of our project is to produce an affordable, easy to make oscilloscope for students or other engineers who cannot afford to buy a

Introduction We have endeavored to develop a means by which eye gaze can be detected. This goal was achieved using the same principles learned in Lab4, where we recorded the motor speed of a small hub fan using the combination of IR emitter plus phototransistor, henceforth referred to as an emitter-phototransistor pair. High Level DesignSeveral

Introduction We present to you, the ultimate guitar — no strings attached (literally)! This guitar features an infrared strumming system and a fret board with physical buttons. It sounds like a real acoustic guitar and it works like a real acoustic guitar, but in the world of Guitar Blocks, it is your ultimate weapon in

Introduction The goal of this project was to assist the user in learning the proper technique for a physical exercise, in our case a dumbbell bicep curl. As our understanding of biology and anatomy improves, the design of physical exercises is improved by the application of scientific principals and experimental results. For each exercise there

Introduction The purpose of this project was to design and implement a debugger for the ATmega644 that communicated through its JTAG interface and was capable of controlling program execution by setting breakpoints and accessing registers and memory. We have three main objectives in this report: To enable a user to properly download our code onto

Introduction The ultrasonic haptic vision system enables a person to navigate hallways and around large objects without sight, through the use of an ultrasonic rangefinder that haptically interfaces with the user via tiny vibrating motors mounted on the users head. The idea behind this project was to construct a sixth sensory system that interacts with

Introduction The Haptic Appointment Manager manages all of an individuals appointments, ensuring they arrive on time and in the right location by subtly guiding them throughout the day. This system uses a GPS receiver and a compass to maintain awareness of its absolute and rotational position. By interfacing with a calendar of time stamped waypoints,
