Gestures

SWAMI reads the motion sensors of the watch to recognise hand gestures. Every gesture can be mapped to another action.

Gesture How Default action
Pinch Tap thumb and index finger together once Left click
Double pinch Two quick pinches Pause or resume the air mouse
Pinch and hold Pinch and keep the fingers together Hold the left button (drag)
Fist Close the hand quickly Right click
Double fist Close the hand twice Recenter the pointer
Flick Snap the wrist left or right Left or right arrow
Shake Shake the wrist briefly Play/pause (on TVs: switch between D-pad and pointer)

While the air mouse is paused, SWAMI only listens for a clear double pinch, which wakes it up. Typing, resting the hand or a palm facing down do not trigger anything, so the pointer does not move while you work.

Open Settings → Gestures on the watch and pick an action for each gesture: a click, a key, a media key, a macro or a SWAMI command. Each host can have its own mapping.

If a gesture is missed or fires by itself, run the calibration in the gesture settings and adjust the sensitivity. Calibration is stored per hand.
