Hand Gesture Recognition (HGR) has application in Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), to control robots, games, and machines. Here we demonstrate a soft-matter multi-layer printed electronic circuit, that can be used to detect the human gesture without the need for physical contact, except for unlocking the system. The film is able to detect touch and proximity of the hand at various nodes, and thus ...
