Abstract:
An apparatus, a method, and a computer program product for gesture recognition. The apparatus classifies a gesture based on a movement of a body part as detected by a primary sensor. The apparatus determine a reliability level of a secondary sensor and obtains corroborating information associated with the movement of the body part using the secondary sensor when the reliability level satisfies a criterion. The apparatus then confirms or negates the classification of the gesture based on the corroborating information. The secondary sensor may be a sensor already known to the apparatus, i.e., the sensor is currently being worn by the user, or it may be a sensor that is worn by a user at a later time. In the latter case, the apparatus detects for the presence of a new sensor, determines the gesture recognition capabilities of the new sensor and integrates the new sensor into the gesture recognition process.
