Design and Development of Air Mouse Using ESP32 and MPU6050 Sensor

Abstract

In the era of modern technology, innovations in digital input devices are growing, one of which is an air mouse based on ESP32 and MPU6050 sensors. The air mouse allows users to control the cursor on the computer screen with just a hand movement, which provides more comfort and flexibility compared to a conventional mouse. This research aims to design and develop an air mouse device using the ESP32 microcontroller and MPU6050 sensor, and test its performance in transforming hand movements into responsive cursor movements. The methods used include hardware design, installation of sensors and modules connected to the ESP32, and testing to ensure the system functions according to specifications

The results of this study show that the ESP32 and MPU6050-based air mouse is able to detect hand movements and move the cursor on the computer screen accurately. The MPU6050 sensor, which functions to detect acceleration and rotation, provides good performance in cursor control, although it needs to be calibrated against noise and latency. The use of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology enables stable and efficient communication between the device and the computer. Tests show that the device works well, although there is still room for improvement in terms of responsiveness and accuracy.
