This technology is now in various consumer electronics (for example, smartphones and game consoles) and involves two principal ingredients: a sensor and a software algorithm.
In this chapter, we will show you how to use accelerometer measurements in conjunction with machine learning (ML) to recognize three hand gestures with the Raspberry Pi Pico. These recognized gestures will then be used to play/pause, mute/unmute, and change YouTube videos on our PC.
We will start by collecting the accelerometer data to build the gesture recognition ...
