Can blender be ble to do this?

I am new to Blender. i am doing 1 project in which i need to visualize hand. i have 9 axis sensor in my hand, it keeps on sending values to my computer serially… i have drawn hand like structure in Blender. Now what i want is if i lift my hand up sensor send its value to computer then blender should take these values and the hand in blender should also move up(real time). can blender be able to do this? can any one suggest any links similar to this?

I’m sure it can be done but I have no idea how.

Blender is being used for a lot of real-time, sensor-based work. For example the VR stuff being done at https://blendervr.limsi.fr/doku.php

It sounds like quite a project. Good luck!

I believe you’re asking about motion capture? If that’s the case, then yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_AwDv9Al28

If I got you right, you have some kind of hardware that should modify your “virtual” hand. In principle this is possible, BUT:

  • If you developed the hardware yourself (arduino, I suppose), you also need to program a phyton script (in blender) that is able to take your serial input and map it to blenders objects
  • If you bought a “finished” sensor board, please provide some more information about that board (brand, model,…)

Thank you, i have seen so many videos and people done several projects based on accelerometer+arduino+blender… my project is also similar to that. i will also try doing it… thank you for your replies
