    Patent number: 11237639
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting and using intentional gestures utilizing a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) provides individuals with limited motor abilities the ability to control multiple devices. The system responds to small intentional gestures produced by any part of the user's body. Unlike existing game controllers and adapted mouse devices, the system has the ability to learn the unique kinematic characteristics of the user's gestures.
