Ultrasonic Air Piano Hand Detection by 3D hand gesture recognition model
This tutorial extends the article on "Ultrasonic Parking Sensors" and utilizes the ultrasonic sensor of the micro:bit self-driving car (MoonCar Lunar Rover) to detect distances. These distances are then converted into piano scales, allowing for the playing of piano tunes through ultrasonic waves, essentially enabling the performance of piano melodies in the air.

TapID, a wrist-based inertial sensing system that complements headset-tracked hand poses to trigger input in VR. TapID embeds a pair of inertial sensors in a flexible strap, one at either side of the wrist; from the combination of registered signals, TapID reliably detects surface touch events and, more importantly, identifies the finger used for touch. . eier, P.
