This study covers a design and implementation of a hand gesture-recognition capable device that can be geared to an IoT (Internet of Things) environment with household security, remote power control of appliance, indoor temperature monitoring, user's heart rate sensing and location positioning. Interactivity is realized through contactless hand gesture recognition whereby control over electrical apparatus is accomplished via simple hand signs and swipe for ON/OFF manipulation. Such operation modus is fitting for aged individuals who have ataxia or muscle incoordination. Activated by a server with value-added functions, all the intended manipulations can be invoked with a WWW browser or an Android APP. Our end user interface is targeting a wearable device with off-the-shelf wireless technology interconnecting legacy appliances for increased automation. Experiments show that our implementation achieves a successful recognition rate of over 96% on average. Hand gestures indicative of commands for different types of apparatus result in a promising IoT application that lends elegantly itself to a variety of fields in intelligent living space. |
