Gesture-Controlled Technology Workshop
About the Gesture-Controlled Technology Workshop
The Gesture-Controlled Technology Workshop is a practical and interactive program where participants learn how to control devices, robots, and digital systems using simple hand gestures. This workshop covers accelerometers, gyroscopes, motion tracking, and human–computer interaction (HCI) concepts. By the end, participants will build functional gesture-controlled applications such as robots, drones, and media control devices.
🧩 Workshop Modules – Gesture-Controlled Technology Workshop
📘 Gesture Control Basics & Theory
Learn the fundamentals of motion sensing, accelerometer behavior, gyroscope data, gesture mapping, and human–computer interaction (HCI). All theory is explained practically so participants clearly understand how gestures are converted into actions.
🔧 Sensor Handling & Calibration
Work with accelerometers and gyroscopes: connecting, calibrating, reading sensor values, smoothing noisy data, and converting raw readings into usable control signals.
🧪 Device Interfacing & Testing
Interface gesture modules with robots, drones, media systems, or computers. Test accuracy, response time, and create real-time gesture-to-action mapping.
🖐️ Gesture-Based Control Systems
Build applications that control robots, drones, lights, or media devices using gestures like tilting, waving, rotation, and directional hand movements.
⏳ Workshop Duration
The workshop is conducted over 3 to 4 days:
Day-1: Theory + Sensor Introduction
Day-2: Sensor Interfacing + Calibration
Day-3: Gesture Mapping + Testing
Day-4: Final Gesture-Controlled Project
