Capture Full Hand Pose in Real Time with This Arduino Mega Motion Capture Glove Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

With this kit, you’ll assemble a wearable glove that captures five finger bend angles and wrist orientation, then displays them instantly on a colorful TFT screen. Real-time hand tracking is the cornerstone of sign language translation, VR hand-input, and robotic teleoperation. This project delivers immediate visual feedback on the glove and streams raw sensor data over USB, giving you both a functional prototype and a flexible data‑collection tool.

What You'll Build

A fully functional motion capture glove that reads finger flex and wrist tilt from five flex sensors and an MPU6050 IMU, processes the data on an Arduino Mega, and renders live angle values on a 1.8" TFT display. When powered by a 9V battery, the glove becomes a portable demo you can wear during presentations. You can stream the data via USB serial to any PC for logging or integration with your own machine‑learning models.

What You'll Learn

• Interface flex sensors and condition their resistive outputs using voltage dividers with 47kΩ and 4.7kΩ resistors.
• Read 6‑axis motion data (accelerometer + gyroscope) from the MPU6050 and fuse it into stable wrist tilt angles.
• Drive a ST7735 TFT display to show real‑time finger angles and orient a 6‑DOF attitude indicator with custom graphics.
• Soldering and assembling a wearable electronics prototype on a glove base, including strain relief and sensor placement.
