Abstract
The dawn of Internet of Things (IoT) has started its journey for new era of smart and portable devices. IoT is regarded as hard-core for integrating various sensors, microcontrollers and all sorts of communication protocols and lays the foundation for futuristic communication standard i.e. Human-Things Interaction. The aim of this research paper is to highlight the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) and in addition to this, a Data Glove- An IoT based smart wearable gadget capable to perform various tasks like temperature monitoring, ambient light detection and gesture control has been proposed. Data Glove is equipped with various sensors like LM35, Ambient, 3-Axis Accelerometer and Arduino IDE Serial Monitor for capturing the sensor data. Data Glove is highly energy efficient and can be operated by 9V battery and has huge potential for live implementations in varied areas like Robotics cum Artificial Intelligence, Corporate Houses for Sensor data measurement, R&D Institutes and even can be deployed in various day to day activities.
