Abstract
A wrist-mounted system for tracking hand poses includes one or more cameras mounted to a wearable band. In some examples, the one or more cameras are low profile and may be located less than 15 mm, and preferably less than 10 mm, of the wrist of the user. In some examples, a system includes a wearable band and one or more imaging sensors. The one or more imaging sensors are disposed to have a field of view that is anatomically distal when the wearable band is coupled to an arm of the user. The one or more imaging sensors each define an optical axis spaced from the wearable band of less than 15 mm, and preferably less than 10 mm. The image data may come from a single camera mounted on the back of the wrist which captures images of the surface contours of the back of the hand to infer hand poses and gestures.
