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.

See the project in action at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6raRftH9yxM!

This project is defunct!! The EM7180SFP is no longer in production, and I can't put any more effort into this project to design around it. Consider this a starting point only!

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. If I revisit the project, the priorities are:

  • Lay out and fab circuit board
  • Make case smaller
  • Replace on/off Hall sensors with continuous sensors
