Claim Text:
1. An apparatus to detect and analyze signals for gesture control, comprising: a band to be worn by a user; a plurality of electromyography (EMG) sensors positioned radially around a circumference of the band, each EMG sensor in the plurality of EMG sensors to detect -electrical signals produced by muscle activity in response to the user performing a gesture; an inertial sensor carried by the band, the inertial sensor to detect motion in response to the user performing the gesture; and a processor carried by the band, the processor communicatively coupled to receive EMG signals from the plurality of EMG sensors and inertial sensor signals from the inertial sensor, and which in use: analyzes the EMG signals and recognizes the gesture performed by the user based on the analysis of the EMG signals, and analyzes the inertial sensor signals and determines a motion aspect of the gesture based on the analysis of the inertial sensor signals.
