The project

Built to be worn.
Designed to work together.

A compact wrist module and a separate hand sensor capture two orientation references. Electronics, firmware and wearable packaging come together as one working prototype.

THE WEARABLE SYSTEM

Two modules.
One connected system.

The centre
of the wearable.

The wrist module brings the controller, primary motion sensor, rechargeable power and physical controls into one custom enclosure.

Control
nRF52840 + embedded firmware
Power
USB-C charging + LiPo battery
Integration
Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity for mobile integration

A second point
of reference.

A smaller sensor module sits on the back of the hand. Together with the wrist sensor, it gives the prototype two distinct orientation references.
