Senseboard: A Touchless Input Device for Hand Motion Detection

The senseboard is an input device that detects hand movement without touching its surface. The hardware of this device is composed of capacitive sensors. Its circuit and its components are mounted in a way that allows movement to be detected through the proximity between the hand and the sensor. The hardware sends your data over wireless communication to other devices. In addition to the hardware, a gesture recognition application was developed. Tests with this application are described in this work. The purpose of the senseboard is to provide a microcontroller-based interface for gesture recognition.
