Wearable technology is the future of electronics gadgets. As interesting as it seems, it has myriad applications. This project aims at creating one such prototype, a hand gesture recognition system, using electromyography. Electromyography (EMG) is an electrodiagnostic medicine technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by the skeletal muscles. The basics of EMG are used to design a circuit that takes the differential signals from two electrodes placed on the same muscle at different locations as input, with one electrode as bone reference. The circuit pre-amplifies the input signal, filters the resultant signal for noise, rectifies it, and finally amplifies it. This output signal is then fed to a machine learning algorithm, which associates different signals with different data, and hence different gestures, and this can be utilized further to integrate with objects, that can be controlled using the gesture recognition system.

If we consider the situation of attending a party, our ears capture numerous sounds: a friend’s voice, the voices of others, background music, ringing telephones, and many others. If one concentrates, one can hear what a person is saying and you will filter any other sound. One can also change his/her focus of attention. For example, one may pay attention to your friend’s speech first and shift focus to the music if it is playing a song you like. If we were to record these sources by placing microphones in many places inside the room, the playback would be jumbled mix of sounds. One might be able to pick out a few words here and there, but there is no way one would be able to hear the conversation details. We are going to achieve this audio mapping using FPGA based circuit.

We will put IMU sensor on hand band and then using this sensor we will calculate the trajectory of the hand and then plot the graph of position of hand with respect to time. This data tells the application what the user is doing with their hand. With the help of machine learning we will pre-­‐set the poses to perform specific task in the computer when the certain task is being performed. The IMU sensor will give us a data of certain pose and then the machine will predict which task is to be executed. .

The SmartBand is a wearable bracelet-like device that exchanges information about its users and their relationships. This exchange happens during the common gesture of the handshake, which is detected by the device. As such, In this paper, we discuss the SmartBand technology and feedback. The results suggest that control over personal information is an ongoing issue, but they also highlight the possibility for wearable devices to enable the creation of a set of invented techno- gestures with different affordances and constraints that might be more appropriate for certain social interaction applications.

The idea of the project is to represent various frequencies present in the audio input signal on a led matrix using FPGA. We will first take an audio input signal an convert it into a digital signal using ADC (Analog to Digital Converter). And then use Fourier transformations on the signals to obtain the coefficients for the various frequencies present in the audio input. Then finally we will represent the output on an LED matrix using Persistence of Vision. The FPGA will be useful as it allows parallel processing of the input signal while applying Fourier transformations.

A LED cube is like a LED screen , but it is special as it has 3D. We can think it as of low resolution displays. In normal displays it is normal to stack pixels closer to each other in order for better resolution but LED cube has its limits. LED cube rely on optical phenomenon called Persistence of vision. If you flash a LED really fast it will remain in your retina for some time even after LED is switched off. By flashing each layer of cube very fast after one another it gives the feeling of 3d animations.

Evo Mouse, a product which would let people control normal mouse operations just by using their natural hand movements, in short it is a hand gesture controlled device. LED ARRAY and an IR camera was used to achieve it. The camera basically tracks your finger and the mouse follows it. It is obviously more intuitive to use your natural hand gestures and movements to control your cursor movement than pushing a physical mouse. With Evo mouse, move your fingers and the cursor will follow you, tap on any arbitrary surface and it will select, you show two fingers to the camera and it will automatically right click and what not. Inspired with the MOUSELESS project, this is indeed a useful application for people with CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME.

A self-balancing platform consists of platform which is balanced by movement of three motors in opposite direction to the movement of the base at the bottom which supports the motors. So it doesn't matter the angle you put the lower base in, the upper platform will ever stay in the horizontal position (waiter’s delight). The base consists of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) which can be used like a remote. When it is detached from base and triggered, it can control the above platform(It can be used to handle hulky cameras).

FPGAs contain programmable logic components called "logic blocks", and a hierarchy of reconfigurable interconnects that allow the blocks to be "wired together"—somewhat like many (changeable) logic gates that can be inter-wired in (many) different configurations. Logic blocks can be configured to perform complex combinational functions, or merely simple logic gates like AND and XOR. In most FPGAs, the logic blocks also include memory elements, which may be simple flip-flops or more complete blocks of memory. FPGA’s have logic blocks, input-out ports and interconnects which are programmable, which provides flexibility to the range of logic circuits which can be configured on the board.
