IMU- and EMG-Based Extended Reality Input Device and Method

An apparatus comprising:

• a first wearable device comprising an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor and an electromyography (EMG) sensor, wherein the first wearable device is configured to detect, based on a movement of a body part of a user, at least one IMU signal and at least one EMG signal, and wherein the body part comprises a forearm of the user and a hand of the user;
• and
• a second wearable device configured to:
• receive, from the first wearable device via a communication interface, the at least one IMU signal and the at least one EMG signal;
• display a virtual cursor on an extended reality display, wherein the virtual cursor is configured to move based on the at least one IMU signal, and wherein the at least one IMU signal corresponds to an orientation change of the forearm and a position change of the forearm;
• and
• determine, based on the at least one EMG signal, an input corresponding to a gesture of the hand of the user.
