Abstract
Gesture-controlled virtual reality systems and methods of controlling the same are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes an on-body sensor to output first signals associated with at least one of movement of a body part of a user or a position of the body part relative to a virtual object and an off-body sensor to output second signals associated with at least one of the movement or the position relative to the virtual object. The apparatus also includes at least one processor to generate gesture data based on at least one of the first or second signals, generate position data based on at least one of the first or second signals, determine an intended action of the user relative to the virtual object based on the position data and the gesture data, and generate an output of the virtual object in response to the intended action.
