Hands-On Flight focuses on making human machine interaction natural. Using simple hand/finger gestures, you can control a drone with operation of a glove. The hand/finger movements you perform are sent to and processed by a phone application that will make it possible to control the drone. The movements performed on the glove are sent to the phone application with the use of Bluetooth communication. After being processed by the phone application, the movements are sent to the drone utilizing WiFi communication. The throttle of the drone is controlled by the stretch sensors located on the fingers of the glove. The direction of the drone is controlled by the inertial measurement unit located on the back of the glove. A haptic disk will be used to create vibrations for user feedback. The Hands-On Flight project seeks to lead a path to more intuitive technology.
