DUAL WRIST USER INPUT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A dual wrist user input system comprising:
- a first wrist band that conforms to a first wrist of a user;
a motion tracking sensor that tracks aerial motion of the first wrist of the user as aerial motion data, the motion tracking sensor being adhered to the first wrist band, the aerial motion of the first wrist of the user performed by the user to move an indicator displayed by a display screen operably connected to a computing device, the motion tracking sensor including a motion transmitter that transmits the aerial motion data;
a second wrist band that conforms to a second wrist of the user, the second wrist being distinct from the first wrist;
a rotational sensor that tracks rotational movement of the second wrist of the user as rotational movement data, the rotational sensor being adhered to the second wrist band, the rotational movement of the second wrist of the user performed by the user to select, with a predetermined rotational orientation, an object over which the indicator is positioned as displayed by the display screen, the rotational sensor including a rotational transmitter that transmits the rotational data; and
a receiver that receives the aerial motion data and the rotational data and provides the aerial motion data, the receiver providing the rotational data to the computing device to (i) display motion of the indicator in the display that corresponds to motion of the first wrist and (ii) select the object based upon the indicator being positioned over the object and the rotational data indicating the predetermined rotational orientation.

Abstract
A dual wrist user input system includes a first wrist band that conforms to a first wrist of a user. The dual wrist user input system includes a motion tracking sensor that tracks aerial motion of the first wrist of the user as aerial motion data, the motion tracking sensor being adhered to the first wrist band. The aerial motion of the first wrist of the user is performed by the user to move an indicator displayed by a display screen operably connected to a computing device. Further, the dual wrist user input system includes a second wrist band that conforms to a second wrist of the user. In addition, the dual wrist user input system includes a rotational sensor that tracks rotational movement of the second wrist of the user as rotational movement data. The rotational sensor is adhered to the second wrist band.
