Project - Wireless hand signal transceiver for soldiers

The project is to build a wireless hand signal transceiver for soldiers that can facilitate communication when the current hand signal system doesn't work, such as too dark in the night or people being too far away from each other to see the real hand signals. The transceiver will be in the shape of a glove to enable convenient use and increase stealth. Short range RF will be used for the wireless communication, gyros/accelerometers will be used to detect different motions to make the transceiver a natural expansion of the current hand signal system, buttons on each finger are used to encode information like meters and numbers, an LCD screen will be installed on the back to display the received messages, and an earphone is used to alert the soldier upon receiving a new message.
