Handtalk Using Flex Sensor
Handtalk Using Flex Sensor
Handtalk Using Flex Sensor
There are some people who don’t have the ability to speak or
they lose it in an accident.
In this project a Sign Language Glove which will assist those
people who are suffering for any kind of speech defect to
communicate through gestures i.e. with the help of single
handed sign language the user will make gestures of alphabets.
The glove will record all the gestures made by the user and
then it will translate these gestures into visual form as well as in
audio form.
This project uses Arduino uno to control all the processes
and flex sensors along with accelerometer sensors will
track the movement of fingers as well as entire palm.
A LCD will be used to display the user’s gesture and a
speaker to translate the gesture into audio signal is
planned if possible for execution.
This project can be further developed to recognize
complex like food, water, etc.

DESCRIPTION OF THE HARWARE USED
FLEX SENSOR
FLEX SENSOR is basically a VARIABLE RESISTOR whose terminal resistance increases when the
sensor is bent. So this sensor resistance increases depends on surface linearity. So it is usually
used to sense the changes in linearity.
.
when the surface of FLEX SENSOR is completely linear it will be having its
nominal resistance. When it is bent 45º angle the FLEX SENSOR resistance
increases to twice as before. And when the bent is 90º the resistance
could go as high as four times the nominal resistance. So the resistance
across the terminals rises linearly with bent angle. So in a sense the FLEX
sensor converts flex angle to RESISTANCE parameter.
