Technologies for context-based management of wearable computing devices include a mobile computing device and a wearable computing device. The wearable computing device generates sensor data indicative of a location context of the wearable computing device and transmits the sensor data to the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device generates local sensor data indicative of a location context of the wearable computing device and fuses the local sensor data with the sensor data received from the wearable computing device. The mobile computing device determines a context of the wearable computing device based on the fused sensor data. The mobile computing device determines whether an adjustment to the functionality of the wearable computing device is required based on the determined context. The mobile computing device manages the functionality of the wearable computing device in response to determining that an adjustment to the functionality is required.

Context-based management of wearable computing devices

Example gesture matching mechanisms are disclosed herein. An example machine readable storage device or disc includes instructions that, when executed, cause programmable circuitry to at least: prompt a user to perform gestures to register the user, randomly select at least one of the gestures for authentication of the user, prompt the user to perform the at least one selected gesture, translate the gesture into an animated avatar for display at a display device, the animated avatar including a face, analyze performance of the gesture by the user, and authenticate the user based on the performance of the gesture.

Gesture matching mechanism

Example game systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a sensing device determines an identity of a game piece in a physical space and detects a movement action associated with the game piece. A computing device calculates a distance and direction associated with the movement action and determines a result of the movement action based on the distance, the direction, and the identity of the game piece.

Game systems and methods

An example apparatus is disclosed herein that includes a memory and at least one processor. The at least one processor is to execute instructions to: select a gesture from a database, the gesture including a sequence of poses; translate the selected gesture into an animated avatar performing the selected gesture for display at a display device; display a prompt for the user to perform the selected gesture performed by the animated avatar; capture an image of the user performing the selected gesture; and perform a comparison between a gesture performed by the user in the captured image and the selected gesture to determine whether there is a match between the gesture performed by the user and the selected gesture.

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to receive a verbal command to active a device with an unknown label, derive a probable device and a label for the probable device, activate the probable device, determine that the activated probable device is the same device to be activated by the verbal command, and store the label and a description for the device. In some examples, the label is associated with the description.

Device identification through dialog

A mechanism is described to facilitate gesture matching according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes selecting a gesture from a database during an authentication phase, translating the selected gesture into an animated avatar, displaying the avatar, prompting a user to perform the selected gesture, capturing a real-time image of the user and comparing the gesture performed by the user in the captured image to the selected gesture to determine whether there is a match.

Systems, apparatuses and methods may obtain motion data, obtain audio data, and detect a collision between a handheld device and an object based on the motion data and the audio data. In one example, noise may be removed from the motion data and the audio data to obtain filtered collision data, wherein the object is classified based on the filtered collision data.

Classifying collision events using inertial and audio data

A touchpad system is disclosed herein that includes a touchpad sensor formed from a plurality of flexible materials and is at least partially integrated into host clothing or furniture such that the touchpad sensor is generally obscured from view. The touchpad sensor may be implemented as a resistive or capacitive touchpad, whereby user input is detected and converted into a proportional electrical signal. The touchpad sensor may include N layers of flexible materials configured to conduct electrical energy, and also conform to contours of a host object. At least one layer of the flexible materials may be heat sealed or otherwise adhered to an inner surface of the host object, such as beneath a shirt sleeve. Thus smart clothing/furniture may appear to be 'normal' while also providing convenient user-access to a touchpad sensor that can robustly handle a wide variety of user-input to control operation of a remote computing device.

A wearable device is described herein. The wearable device includes a display. The display can be a digital display with analog components. The wearable device also includes an input device. The input device is to control the digital display and the analog components correspond to the digital display. In some cases, the input device is a bezel.
