Project Title

Hand gesture controlled rock paper scissors game.

Abstract

This project recreates the classic Rock,Paper, Scissors game using a LED Matrix to display and keep track of scoring, and wireless gloves to record the user input. The LED Matrix helps users to know what round they are on, what the score is, as well as provide prompts of when to give the Rock, Paper or Scissors signal. The Smart aspect of the system also allows users to play against a computer player. The wireless gloves utilize Bluetooth modules and flex sensors to detect the player input and feed that input into the game logic and game controller.

Objectives & Introduction

  • Create LED display to guide players through the game
  • Create wireless gloves to allow players to give input
  • Create feedback to the gloves to enhance the game experience
  • Make the game platform modular, so other games could be easily built with the system

Schedule

Show a simple table or figures that show your scheduled as planned before you started working on the project. Then in another table column, write down the actual schedule so that readers can see the planned vs. actual goals. The point of the schedule is for readers to assess how to pace themselves if they are doing a similar project.

Design & Implementation

The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation.

Hardware Design

Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

Software Design

Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.

Implementation

This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.

Testing & Technical Challenges

Describe the challenges of your project. What advise would you give yourself or someone else if your project can be started from scratch again? Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.

Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:

<Bug/issue name>

Discuss the issue and resolution.

Conclusion

Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?

Project Video

Upload a video of your project and post the link here.
