Overview Turn a Glove into a functional computer mouse. “ The power of the mouse is your hand”! Works like a mouse Be able to take it anywhere with you Multipurpose use glove. Wireless Comfortable fit

Sketch/ Design

Motivation How am I going to make this device more comfortable for the user. How am I going to make this device more appealing for all users Maybe the user of the mouse was tired of holding the mouse in their hands. Target to older people: Some older age people aren’t able to grip the mouse and have trouble using it. This issue should be addressed because: It can be useful for gamers. Can lead to a more upgradable glove mouse. I want the device to be more than just a glove.

Introduction Types of computer mouse: Mechanical mouse/Ball mouse (The one with the ball on the bottom) Optical mouse (The one with the LED on the bottom) Wireless mouse G stick Mouse Trackball Mouse

Mechanical/Ball mouse

Optical Mouse

Wireless Mouse

GSTick

Trackball mouse

What they all Have in common: the circuit board!

Schematics of A mouse

Problem Statement Problems: How the circuit board and mouse components are going to fit in the glove. How are the mouse parts going to be attached to the glove. What kind of mouse type and glove should I use.

Problem Statement Cont. Should be wireless or wired? What part of the Glove should I put the circuit board? Constraint/limits: Can not fit all or the extra buttons that the mouse provides in the glove. Can not do a lot of hand squeezing.

Assumptions Thought it was going to be easy! Then I thought it was going to be hard! Deal with a lot of adding and removing solder. Deal with a low amount of electrical Voltage. Cost of resources will be low ( under $50). I assume that gamers are mostly going to use it. A lot of mouses will be destroyed by me. Need to have steady hands.

Proposed Solution Write down problems I would have with the project Sketch and design the device Research about different mouse types Obtain all possible resources Take apart the mouse and remove the solder from the left and right button Cut the glove to make it compatible to installing the mouse’s circuit board. Solder the wire to where the circuit board and then soulder left button to the wire Make a hole at the bottom of the glove to install the sensor of the mouse Carefully install the glove with hot glue. Trouble shoot the glove

Results Went through 3 mouses. Expanded the left button of the mouse to my index finger. Now the glove functions like an actual mouse.

Take a look at my video!

Here is another video!

Conclusion Very Happy about the completion of my device. Glove works good but not perfect. Planning is what help me a lot.

Future Work Have the mouse be touch screen compatible. Making the circuit board smaller and have more flexible movement with it on. Even turning the mouse glove into a smart glove. Which will include: Notification Google speak Microphone Universal mouse capabilities Hand warmer Heart rate Checker
