To me, this project isn't about gestures.... to me a gesture implies movement and perhaps that's where the accelerometer would come in. This project is more about poses,
Exactly. ]
Thinking the project was actually about gestures is what prompted me to write the earlier replies. A crap question always generates a crap reply.
It seem that the project as now framed is much more doable.
You haven't mentioned what the purpose of the accelerometer is?
I suspect just to show if the finger is pointing up or down.
That is possible but requires a bit of skill mounting small surface mounting packages on fabric. Then trying to address all five accelerometer without a ton of wiring is tricky. Most accelerometers are I2C devices but with not that many addresses. The analogue output accelerometers have a small output prone to noise pickup.
