The setup is minimal: an ESP32 microcontroller, an MPU-6050 IMU, a transistor, and some breadboard magic. [Richard] demonstrates the concept using a clone AirTag due to concerns about soldering ...

The glove also contains an MPU-6050 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope. This sensor can detect the hand’s orientation as well as rotational movement.

With a package size of 3x3mm (45% footprint reduction compared to the previous generation), the MPU-6500 is the smallest 6-Axis IMU for consumer applications. This package reduction has been made ...
