How Gesture Control Works?

Gesture control refers to using, hand movements to operate devices without  physical contact. An MPU6050 sensor detects the tilt and motion of your hand, which is processed by an ESP32 microcontroller. These movements are then sent via Bluetooth, allowing you to fly the drone without a traditional remote. you can get full dettails on our tutorial on ESP32 Air Mouse.
