Abstract
A system for detecting anatomical gestures based on the interpretation of radio signal transmissions. A user may place wireless devices on his/her head and wrist(s) that communicate through short-range radio signals. The wireless devices may collect information regarding signal exchanges which may be analyzed by a computing device to determine positional information about the user's hands. The computing device may compile the positional information into sequences and evaluate the sequences against predefined patterns of movement data. The computing device may interpret recognized movements as computer input commands. In an embodiment, multiple wireless devices may be placed on the user's wrists to enable multi-touch input commands. In an embodiment, data from motion sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, may be combined with movement data based on radio signal information.
