Abstract: The evolution of gaming technology has increasingly emphasized immersive, interactive, and user centered experiences, yet conventional controllers still rely on mechanical buttons and joysticks that limit fluid, natural engagement. Gestplay introduces a next generation gesture based gaming glove designed to revolutionize human computer interaction by translating real-time hand movements into intuitive game commands. Integrated with an Arduino Nano and MPU6050 accelerometer, the glove can accurately detect directional gestures like up, down, left, and right, enabling seamless control without physical buttons. This innovation provides a more dynamic, responsive, and engaging gaming experience that promotes natural motion and improves reflex coordination. The glove also features an interactive timer pop- up, allowing users to manage playtime effectively and maintain balanced gaming habits. Unlike conventional devices, Gestplay operates directly through a USB interface, drawing power from the connected system and eliminating the need for external batteries or wireless connections. Its lightweight, flexible, and ergonomic construction ensures long-term comfort, making it ideal for both recreational and educational use. The plug-and-play design enhances accessibility, while its customizable fimiware allows developers to adapt gesture controls to a wide range of PC-based games and applications. Beyond entertainment, Gestplay holds strong potential for use in rehabilitation, virtual training, and assistive technology, offering a hands-free interface that supports physical therapy and interactive learning. The glove embodies a cost- effective and sustainable solution by integrating simple hardware components with efficient programming logic. By merging motion sensing, user comfort, and responsive control into a single wearable system, Gestplay bridges the gap between human motion and digital interaction. This innovation not only redefines the concept of gesture-controlled gaming but also represents a forward-looking step toward more inclusive, intuitive, and adaptive interactive technologies across multiple domains.i
