Recording Protocol

For each gesture:

Countdown (4s) ← not recorded Hold gesture (5s) ← recorded Relax countdown (8s) ← not recorded Rest (5s) ← recorded Repeat × 6 rounds

Notes

  • —Session 1 contains a minor labeling error in the last repetition of pinch
  • —All sessions used for training the final model
  • —Normalization stats: see model repo
