Week 5 Progress Report – Fiona and Gia

final mold design gesture detection We first found the thresholds for the four directions (left, right, forward, back) through trial and error and created conditions in the main loop to check for changes in the x, y, and z values that crossed these thresholds. We took inspiration for the algorithm from this paper: https://www.irjmets.com/uploadedfiles/paper/volume3/issue_2_february_2021/6052/1628083249.pdf Then,
