1. A system comprising:

  • a wearable band including one or more accelerometers, one or more proximity sensors, and a communications device; and

    a mobile device including one or more accelerometers, one or more proximity sensors, and a communications device, adapted to communicate with the wearable band and to determine a relative distance to the wearable band over time, and further adapted to determine an exercise being performed by a wearer of the wearable band based on information transmitted by the wearable band and measured by the mobile device,wherein the information transmitted by the wearable band indicates a relative position and motion of a user appendage upon which the wearable band is worn,wherein the relative position and motion of the user appendage is computed based upon relative position and motion of the wearable band to the mobile device as determined by tracking changes in the position, movement, and orientation over time of the wearable band using the one or more accelerometers and one or more proximity sensors, andwherein the exercise determined by the mobile device is used to play a video game running on the mobile device;

    wherein the mobile device further includes a calibration module and a database of activities configured to store a plurality of data sets, each data set characteristic of an exercise performed by the wearer wherein each dataset is generated using a calibration function by tracking and storing position, movement, and orientation over time of the wearable band using the one or more accelerometers and one or more proximity sensors while the wearer performs a exercise specified by the calibration module.
