Title Developing a “Harry Potter Magic Wand” Using Deep Learning
Abstract Can a computer recognize “magic” if we wave a wand in the air to draw shapes? In this talk, we present a student project that uses deep learning to create a Harry Potter–style magic wand.
When a user waves the wand in the air, an accelerometer embedded at its tip records motion data and transmits it wirelessly to a computer in real time. A deep learning model on the computer (based on a pre-trained neural network) then analyzes the data to recognize the shapes—or “spell gestures”—drawn by the user.
This project was completed by a team of eight students within six months. The development process involved multiple disciplines, including:
  • Signal noise processing and data interpolation
  • TensorFlow-based deep learning model development
  • Wireless data transmission
  • Hardware soldering and device fabrication
  • Linux systems and automated data processing
  • Artistic design of visual “magic” effects
Through this case study, we aim to demonstrate how interdisciplinary projects like this can inspire new possibilities for STEM education at the university level.
