• Google filed a patent that allows for a user to operate a wearable with skin gestures.
• A user can swipe or tap the skin near the wearable to control it.
• The gesture creates a mechanical wave that is then picked up by the sensor in the wearable.
• The “Sensor Fusion” tech then combines this movement data collected from various sensors into an input command for the wearable.
• The patent outlines how users can swipe up and down vertically or tap with different intensities and fingers to issue skin commands for things like answering calls, adjusting the volume, media playback, and more.
