The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for using a multi-stage in-air hand gesture to activate user-interface interactions in a way that ensures low-false positive rates. In one aspect, a method includes, while a gating gesture is maintained, receiving a first indication of performance of an adjustment gesture of a first magnitude directed to a user interface object associated with a plurality of values. The method further includes, in response to receiving the first indication, adjusting the user interface object to have a first state after moving through some of the plurality of values based on the first magnitude. The method also includes, after receiving an indication of a release of the gating gesture, in response to receiving a second indication of performance of the adjustment gesture, forgoing adjusting the user interface object such that the user interface object continues to have the first state.

Multi-stage gestures detected based on neuromuscular-signal sensors of a wearable device to activate user-interface interactions with low-false positive rates, and systems and methods of use thereof

The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for producing and modifying text using neuromuscular-signal-sensing devices. In one aspect, a method includes causing the display of a plurality of text terms input by a user. Using data from one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors in communication with the wearable device, an in-air hand gesture performed by the user is detected while the text terms are displayed. In response to the in-air hand gesture, a text-modification mode is enabled that allows for modifying the text terms input by the user. A target term is identified and, while the text-modification mode is enabled, data about a voice input provided by the user for modifying the target term is received. The method further includes causing a modification to the target term in accordance with the voice input from the user.

Techniques for neuromuscular-signal-based detection of in-air hand gestures for text production and modification, and systems, wearable devices, and methods for using these techniques

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.
