Gesture recognition device with minimal wand form factor

A method comprising:

• receiving sensor data comprising a pattern of movements in space;
• determining, based at least on the sensor data, a gesture type associated with the pattern of movements;
• identifying, based on the gesture type, a target device identifier as the target device identifier associated with the gesture type;
• and
• transmitting a command to a target device associated with the target device identifier to perform an action, wherein transmitting the command to the target device associated with the target device identifier comprises querying the target device to determine if the target device is ready to perform the action.

A computer program product including one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause one or more processors to:

• receive sensor data comprising a pattern of movements in space;
• determine, based at least on the sensor data, a gesture type associated with the pattern of movements;
• identify, based on the gesture type, a target device identifier as the target device identifier associated with the gesture type;
• and
• transmit a command to a target device associated with the target device identifier to perform an action, wherein transmitting the command to the target device associated with the target device identifier comprises querying the target device to determine if the target device is ready to perform the action.
