HAND GLOVE MOUSE USING MEMS

The project presents a novel method to control computer mouse-cursor

movement and keyboard using Mouse Gloves that specially designed to seek PC
mouse operations. Using this system, computer can be used by persons during
seminars and presentation from even a farther distance so that he can produce
effective interaction with the audience as well as control his mouse cursor in PC
through gestures. It will be an efficient mouse replacement technology in future
where there is of not much stress/ strain to our forearm, where just finger
movement will do the cursor functionality. It will also make the following
functions such as Internet browsing, communication, environmental control easier,
and will be a source of information and entertainment.
This device is an interface system that would allow a user to interact with a
computer with almost full functional capability. That is, the system operates as a
mouse initially, but the user has the ability to toggle I and out of a keyboard mode
allowing the entry of text. The system uses accelerometers to detect the users hand
tilt in order to direct mouse movement on the monitor. The keyboard function is
implemented by allowing the user to scroll through letters.
Here a mouse glove is designed for converting Gestures to mouse
movements. We synchronize the movements of the gloves to generate control
signals based on gravity calculation of movements. For this we make use of
MEMS based embedded technology. Here the sensor module outputs the analog
values corresponding to gesture movement with respect to X,Y and Z axis. The
normal balancing values of X,Y, and Z axis are set in a predefined algorithm. When
users forearm/ fingers moves in a plane the sensor reads values of each axis and is

given to an ADC module. The ADC are interfaced with the device so as to achieve
Left and Right Clicks. The microcontroller CPU generates control signals that
matches with the mouse or keyboard signals and transmits it through an RF
communication network to the destination PC and process the desired function.
Micro-Electro-Mechanical

(MEMS)

is

the

integration

of

mechanical elements, sensors, actuators and electronics on a common silicon

substrate through micro fabrication technology. While the electronics are fabricated
using integrated circuit (IC) process sequences (e.g. CMOS, Bipolar, or BICMOS
processes), the micromechanical components are fabricated using compatible
micromachining processes that selectively etch away parts of the silicon wafer or
add new structural layers to form the mechanical and electromechanical devices.
