GESTURE-BASED CONTROLLER FOR USE IN AXISYMMETRIC HOUSING

摘要

A gesture-based remote for controlling a controlled device has a first axis that defines a transverse plane normal to the first axis, an acceleration sensing system configured to detect a direction of acceleration of the remote in the transverse plane, a controller, wherein the controller is configured to receive data from the acceleration sensing system and to, based at least in part on the data, estimate an intended direction of a gesture, and a transmission system for receiving data representative of the estimate from the controller and transmitting a direction signal to the device to be controlled, the direction signal being indicative of the intended direction. The direction signal is independent of rotation of the remote about the first axis.
