Can't Touch Dis

⛅ Inspiration

We wanted to make it easier for you to enter through a locked door and work on something hands on. This application can be branched off into several beneficial categories such as: enabling further access for the disabled, providing a contact free entry (covid), and providing a personalized entrance to your own home.

🤔 What it does

We are using Leap Motion to capture the gestures from the hand and interpreting them on a sequential basis. If the sequence is correct, a servo (acting as a lock) is activated with the process captured on a LCD screen. The whole experience is done to portray that a user can open a lock without a key or a padlock!

🛠️ How we built it

We used a Leap Motion sensor and an Arduino starter kit! The two communicate with each other a software called "Processing" which sends data to the serial port that is used for the Arduino!

😬 Challenges we ran into

Working and interpreting the Leap Motion gestures can be a bit tricky to debug.

💪 Accomplishments that we're proud of

Using hardware, building a functional product, understanding Leap Motion framework and the supporting software/documentation.

💡What we learned

Serial communication, Arduino and Leap Motion!

❔ What's next for Can't Touch Dis

We would want to be able to add more functionality and incorporate gestures that are complex. The Leap Motion has the capability to capture a gesture in 3D. An algorithm can be developed to capture a gesture with a certain threshold to validate.
