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 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.

Navigating a user interface using in-air gestures detected via neuromuscular-signal sensors of a wearable device, and systems and methods of use thereof

The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for tracking user movements. In one aspect, a method includes, while a user is interacting with a virtual object, obtaining tracking information by tracking, via a sensor, a position of an arm of a user. The method also includes, in conjunction with tracking the position of the arm, obtaining wrist information by detecting, via a neuromuscular-signal sensor, a movement of a wrist of the arm. The method further includes assigning one or more motion characteristics to the virtual object in accordance with the tracking information and the wrist information.
