The newly allowed patent advances Wearable Devices' neural gesture technology, unlocking seamless pinch-to-zoom, volume control, and object manipulation in mid-air Yokneam Illit, Israel, May 22 ...

It uses a PAJ7620U2 gesture sensor to register a few intuitive hand motions including finger twirls to control the volume, hand swipes to skip forward and backwards, and a flat hand to play and ...

Gestures and control wheels "As one example, an incorporated sensor may detect a touch or proximity of a user or object to the wearable audio device," continues the patent application.

The standard Arduino library has trouble sending multimedia keys, but in a previous post I built a gesture-based volume control that managed to pull it off.

Wearable Devices' patent enhances touchless gesture technology, enabling intuitive control for augmented reality and smart devices.
