Hand Gesture Automation of Electrical Appliances Idea: The concept is to develop intelligent and natural interfaces between users and computer based systems based on human gestures. Gestures provide an intuitive interface to both human and computer. Thus, such gesture-based interfaces can not only substitute the common interface devices, but can also be exploited to extend their functionality. All the household and industrial appliances can be controlled by a mere movement of the finger. Technologies Involved: Gesture recognition technologies are budding in the world of today. At present a lot of work is going on in this field but very few are available for publicly available implementations. Several approaches have been developed for sensing gestures and controlling appliances. Glove based technique is a well-known means of recognizing hand gestures. It utilizes an accelerometer sensor attached to a glove that directly measures hand movements. The output of the sensor is fed to a microcontroller for decision making. The final output from the microcontroller can be used to operate a relay or to drive an actuator motor as required. For communication between the glove and the microcontroller, RF link is used with encoder + decoder so as to facilitate controlling of a large number of devices from a single glove.

Pic: Hand Gesture Automation of bulbsPossible Innovation: Currently the working model is for relay operated switch On and Off for different electrical loads. However, the plan is to go for such a system which will offer a complete gestured control (e.g. changing the speed of a ceiling fan) over the electrical appliances. This can be achieved with the help of multiple gesture recognition and proper power electronics.Market Size: The product will mainly helpful for handicapped and physically disabled people to accomplish their daily tasks, such as driving a vehicle, controlling household appliances.Gestures can be used to control interactions for entertainment purposes such as gaming to make the game player's experience more interactive and immersive and finally they can be used to increase comfort in day to day life even for a normal person. Finally, it is expected that the product if developed and supplied in form of a kit, will appeal to the mass and has great potentials for growth.

The Team: Working team consists of three students from B.Tech final year (EEE branch). The group is being guided by a faculty member having expertise in the relevant field.

The Support System: BIT Mesra Jaipur campus has the basic necessary equipments for initial development of the project. However, to test the wide applicability of the project, various advancements are required.

The Financial Requirement: Cost of purchase of raw material:1. RF Rx/Tx kits with amplifier 1000x5 INR.2. Accelerometer Sensors 300x10 INR3. Zigbee kit 1100x 5 INR4. Miscellaneous hardware 5000 INR

The cost of contingencies:
