Abstract
Aspects of the subject technology relate to gesture-control inputs to an electronic device for controlling one or more other devices. The electronic device can efficiently provide gesture control for multiple other devices by mapping a finite set of user gestures to a specific set of gesture-control elements for each of the multiple other devices. In this way a single gesture can be detected for potentially controlling various different functions of various different devices. Prior to gesture control, the electronic device may receive a selection of a particular one of the multiple other devices for control, and obtain the specific set of gesture-control elements for gesture control of that selected device.
