Prototyping A Capacitive Sensing Device For Gesture Recognition, Chenglong Lin
Prototyping A Capacitive Sensing Device For Gesture Recognition, Chenglong Lin
Computer Science and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Capacitive sensing is a technology that can detect proximity and touch. It can also be utilized to measure position and acceleration of gesture motions. This technology has many applications, such as replacing mechanical buttons in a gaming device interface, detecting respiration rate without direct contact with the skin, and providing gesture sensing capability for rehabilitation devices. In this thesis, an approach to prototype a capacitive gesture sensing device using the Eagle PCB design software is demonstrated. In addition, this paper tested and evaluated the resulting prototype device, validating the effectiveness of the approach.
