Mechanisms for Sensing Gestures

Description

There are many diverse mechanisms that have been proposed for sensing hand, finger, or other parts of the body including:

  • Gloves
  • Rings
  • Smart Dust on the hands
  • Clothing
  • Cameras in environment
  • Cameras worn on body
  • Variations in WiFi signal as you move sensors (Gao, R. et al. 2022) (Xing, T. et al. 2022)
  • Acoustic imaging
  • Radar imaging
  • Laser imaging
