Somatic

The Somatic is a wearable keyboard and mouse. It translates hand signs and motions into action, like the somatic component of a spell in Dungeons and Dragons.

The Somatic project's priorities are:

• Control any wearable computer with a heads-up display
• Ready to use all day, instantly, with no Internet
• Doesn't cause fatigue or interfere with other tasks
• Fast enough to do a quick search in less than 10 seconds

The Somatic does not:

• Reproduce your hand in 3-D space
• Let you type on a virtual keyboard
• Use any cloud services at all

The project is still in a pretty rough state. The roadmap includes:

• Build a training utility
• Collect gesture samples
• Use artificial neural network to recognize letters
• Implement gyro mouse
• Implement Bluetooth stuff
• Lay out and fab circuit board
• Make case smaller
• Replace on/off Hall sensors with continuous sensors
