About Skyflex v1.1

Solution

  A smart drone controlled through user-mounted sensors (gyroscopes and accelerometers) on the hands. These sensors detect gesture-based inputs and translate them into flight commands, acting like an invisible joystick. This solution explores the usability and real-world applications of gesture-controlled drones in areas such as education, surveillance, or accessibility. 

Additional Info

Idea: Develop a drone that tracks hand movements and adjusts its speed and direction accordingly, offering a more natural and immersive way to control flight. Objectives: Build a drone controlled by hand gestures through a wearable glove. Use a gyroscope mounted on the glove to detect motion. After building core movement controls, add advanced features such as LEDs. Enhance and iterate upon a previous team's work on the drone platform.
