title: How to do Gesture Recognition using Accelerometers
body: <p>My goal is to recognize simple gestures from accelerometers mounted on a sun spot. A gesture could be as simple as rotating the device or moving the device in several different motions. The device currently only has accelerometers but we are considering adding gyroscopes if it would make it easier/more accurate. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have recommendations for how to do this? Any available libraries in Java? Sample projects you recommend I check out? Papers you recommend?</p>
  
  <p>The sun spot is a Java platform to help you make quick prototypes of systems. It is programmed using Java and can relay commands back to a base station attached to a computer. If I need to explain how the hardware works more leave a comment.</p>
