Gesture control of interactive events using multiple wearable devices

A wearable device for gesture control of an interactive event, comprising:

• a body configured to be coupled to a portion of a user;
• a sensor comprising an accelerometer and an electromyography sensor;
• a communication component configured to communicate signal data generated by the sensor to at least one of a computing device or a second wearable device in communication with the computing device;
• and
• a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
• generate signal data indicative of a motion of the wearable device and a muscle activity of the portion of the user to which the body is coupled;
• and
• communicate the signal data to the computing device for determining at least one gesture made by the user in connection with the interactive event.

A system for gesture control of an interactive event using multiple wearable devices, comprising:

• a first wearable device comprising a first accelerometer, a first electromyography sensor, and a first communication component;
• a second wearable device comprising a second accelerometer, a second electromyography sensor, and a second communication component;
• a computing device in communication with the first communication component and the second communication component, the computing device comprising a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
• receive signal data indicative of at least one gesture from the first wearable device and the second wearable device;
• perform pre-processing on the signal data;
• perform feature extraction on the pre-processed signal data;
• and
• determine the at least one gesture based on the feature extracted signal data and offline training data.
