Abstract: Wearable devices and methods of using the same for inputting ambient conditions and the movement and bio-signals of a user to an external device are provided. The wearable device can include a finger sensor and a wrist sensor, wherein each includes an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a compass. The compass can be a magnetometer. The wrist sensor can also include a power source, a computer, and a touchscreen.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are described that enable improved gesture discernment from input devices, as well as simplified modeling and processing of gestures by application software layers. Given data (e.g., about movements, actions, or events) gathered from input devices, techniques and systems allow gestures to be discerned and inferred more formally and reliably, and processed more easily by an application layer. A gesture interpreter is provided that, in response to receiving an activation input data from an input device, instantiates a high-level Petri Net instance, executes the high-level Petri Net instance, and returns, to an application layer, an outcome gesture indicative of a terminal node in a path of the high-level Petri Net instance being traversed during the execution of the high-level Petri Net instance.
