Gesture Based TV Remote Control

fvan

13 Feb 2016

Here's the latest project I've been working on: controlling the TV using gestures instead of a remote control. Mainly inspired by my kids being able to handle a tablet but not a remote control, it could perhaps also help to Make Life Accessible.

 

The project consists of a Raspberry Pi A+, Skywriter HAT and IR LED and receiver. Using Lirc IR signals were recorded from the original remote and can then be reproduced by the Pi.

As always, schematics, code, etc ... are available in a full blog post on my website: Gesture Based TV Remote Control – Frederick Vandenbosch

    Thanks Mark image

     

    I'm experimenting with basic video editing. Still haven't found my own style, but it's getting there ...

     

    The Skywriter HAT is really fun, I believe it also comes in a larger version capable of detecting even more different types of gestures.

    Very clever.

     

    I like the video with the custom intro ... very professional.

     

     

    I'm curious about the bloke at the end.

    Is he your assistant. image

     

     

    I just had to order one ... along with some other bits.

    So thanks very much image
