Abstract
The Rock Paper Scissors Sensing Glove is composed a hand sewn glove connected to an Arduino. Through the use of four Flex Sensors, the Arduino is able to sense the position of fingers and keep track of what may be a vital decision making tactic.
The goal of the development of this game was to better understand how flex sensors work and get information about hand movements which could lead to further projects dealing with wearable technology, and using hand and other gestures as a controller.
Interface and interaction modality
The game starts when the two players make a fist at the same time. Once the game has started, each full game lasts for three rounds.
​
The two flex sensors inside the glove are positioned on the middle finger and the ring finger respectively. On the base of the movement of the fingers, the resistor shows increased capacity reaching its maximum value if the players makes a fist.
Arduino can recognise the current capacity of the resistor sending this information to Processing which has the entire logic of the game.
