One hand movement: who won the American stage of the James Dyson Award 2019

The winners of the American national stage of the prize are recent graduates of SPbPU: Maria Portnaya, Igor Ilyin and Oleg Kovalev. They introduced the smart wristband

TILT

for remote interaction with electronic devices.

Project Description

Gestures are recognized by forearm muscle contractions and hand position in space, and two types of sensors are responsible for this: a nine-axis sensor detects hand position , as well as an array of electromyographic sensors with silver coating, which reads forearm muscle contractions.

It lets you control virtual reality systems, video games, smartphones, smart home, quadcopters, prosthetics and manipulators with natural gestures and hand movements from a single remote controller. This makes it easier and more intuitive to operate.

Currently, the authors of the project create a database with complex gestures, based on which the technology will be improved motion recognition.

.

To use digital technology, we have to use a lot of different input devices, cumbersome and inconvenient. Why not combine their functions in one compact wireless controller? TILT solves this problem and makes it much easier to control. Plus, it keeps your hands free

, – winners celebrate. –

Winning a national competition will help us implement our development plans faster. We will now be able to involve more people in testing and use an advanced neural network for gesture recognition. And then we plan to put into production the first batch of TILT
