Gesture-Controlled Bluetooth Speaker

Welcome to the Gesture-Controlled Bluetooth Speaker project! This project combines the power of computer vision, machine learning, and embedded systems to create a Bluetooth speaker that can be controlled using hand gestures.

Introduction

This project aims to develop a Bluetooth speaker that can be controlled using hand gestures. It leverages the capabilities of an ESP32-CAM module for capturing images and Edge Impulse for gesture recognition. The recognized gestures are then used to control the playback of music on the Bluetooth speaker.

Features

• Gesture Recognition: Uses machine learning to recognize hand gestures.
• Bluetooth Connectivity: Connects to Bluetooth-enabled devices for audio playback.
• Real-Time Control: Provides real-time control over the speaker using gestures.

Hardware Requirements

• ESP32-CAM module
• AI-Thinker camera module
• Bluetooth speaker
• Breadboard and jumper wires
• Power supply

Software Requirements

• Arduino IDE
• Edge Impulse (Web Service)
• ESP32 Board Manager for Arduino
• Necessary Arduino libraries:
  • esp_camera
  • ArduinoJson

Usage

1. Power on your ESP32-CAM module.
2. Pair your Bluetooth speaker with your device.
3. Use the recognized gestures to control the playback on the Bluetooth speaker:
   • Play/Pause: Gesture 1
   • Next Track: Gesture 2
   • Previous Track: Gesture 3
   • Volume Up: Gesture 4 (yet to implement)
   • Volume Down: Gesture 5 (yet to implement)
