It is believed that Apple Watch is now coming up with the ability to support various kinds of gestures thanks to Patently Apple’s patent application. This can happen when the person goes ahead and raise their wrist. The different gestures that could be used includes extending thumb and pinky to form the call me gesture, apart from that you also have the waving, pointing and other such movements that can done either when paired with an iPhone or also while using the Watch on its own.

Even though touch and voice input are considered effective ways for decide controls however there are times where there could be a limited ability to speak any command verbally or even touch gesture can be to a particular limit.

The patent application helps to relate the device with the gesture or motion that the user is trying to show out with the help of the movement either/and the movements of the fingers, wrist, arm and even hands of the user. The gesture interpretation done by the device will be with the help of the input command.

There are different illustrative examples that have been given by the company to understand a few of the gestures. If you wish to decline a phone call that is coming, you can turn your hands palm down and with the help of the patting motion decline it. To change the speaker volume, you can either drop or lift you palm. The sideway wave of your hands can help turn the pages of the eBook that you are reading.

As per the description given by the company, the determination of the user’s gesture is based on the movements that are deducted. There are various sensors that can help detect the movement. These include optical sensors, mechanical contact sensors, and inertial sensors as well
