Claim:
1. A method comprising: generating, by a device comprising a processor, a signal; sending, by the device, the signal to a sensor network associated with a user, wherein the sensor network comprises a plurality of vibration sensors positioned at various locations on a body of the user; receiving, by the device, a modified signal comprising the signal, received by at least one vibration sensor of the plurality of vibration sensors from the device and propagated by the at least one vibration sensor through at least one bone of the body of the user, thereby modifying the signal to create the modified signal; comparing, by the device, the modified signal to the signal to determine a difference in a feature between the signal and the modified signal, wherein the difference in the feature between the signal and the modified signal is associated with a pre-defined gesture that defines the difference in the feature as being indicative of a gesture performed by the user; and determining, based upon the difference in the feature between the signal and the modified signal being associated with the pre-defined gesture, that the user performed the gesture.
