        abstract = {This paper describes the designing and development of low-cost wearable hand gesture-based air mouse using ESP32 microcontroller and MPU6050 6-axis IMU sensor. Conventional devices need contact and level surface which makes them difficult to use for physically impaired users or places where high level of sanitization is needed. In the proposed work, the movement and tilt angles of wrist are sensed using MPU6050 sensor through I2C interface, processed in ESP32 microcontroller and then sent wirelessly to computer in the form of cursor movements and clicks in the HID Bluetooth protocol. No separate software or driver is required and the entire device runs on rechargeable 18650 Li-Ion battery thereby making it completely portable. Experimental results demonstrated that Bluetooth connection was successfully established, cursor could be controlled accurately, and clicks were detected reliably with the total hardware cost of around INR 800 only.},
