Technologies for remotely controlling a computing device via a wearable computing device

摘要

Technologies for remotely controlling a separate computing device includes a wearable computing device to receive sensor data from an optical sensor of the wearable computing device. The sensor data comprises data is indicative of a skin surface of a forearm of a user of the wearable computing device. The wearable computing device generates control data based on the received sensor data. The generated control data is transmitted to the separate computing device. In some embodiments, an x-coordinate is generated based on detection of longitudinal movement of the wearable computing device relative to the skin surface of the forearm of the user and a y-coordinate is generated based on detection of rotational movement of the wearable computing device relative to the skin surface of the forearm of the user.
