  • Patent number: 12204805
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using a gesture detected at a wrist-wearable device to cause presentation of camera data at a head-wearable device. One example method includes receiving, via one or more sensors of a wrist-wearable device worn by a user, data generated based on performance of an in-air hand gesture by the user. In accordance with a determination that the data indicates that the in-air hand gesture is a camera-control gesture, the method further includes causing presentation to the user, via a display of a head-wearable device that is worn by the user and that is in communication with the wrist-wearable device, of a representation of camera data from a camera that is in communication with one or both of the wrist-wearable device and the head-wearable device.

  • Publication number: 20240061514
    Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for using hand gestures detected at a wearable device to navigate a user interface. An example method includes receiving, via one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors of a wrist-wearable device worn by a user, data generated during performance of an in-air wrist movement by a wrist of the user. The method also includes moving a point of focus on the user interface in accordance with the in-air wrist movement; and receiving, via the one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors, additional data generated during performance of an in-air gesture by the user. The method further includes determining that the in-air gesture is an execution gesture; and executing a command corresponding to the execution gesture.
