Wearable digital input device for multipoint free space data collection and analysis

摘要

A new computer wearable input device, referred to as Imagine, may be used to control electronic devices in a natural, intuitive, convenient and comfortable manner, having a form factor which does not impede normal daily or business activities. For example, an Imagine may serve as an alternative to input devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or game controller. An Imagine device is able to recognize complex gestures, such as a person signing American Sign Language. An Imagine device may include a plurality of motion sensors affixed to a user's fingers and a plurality of motion sensors affixed to a user's wrists, a processing component and a communication component designed to communicate with a second electronic device.
