1. A method for controlling a device, comprising: receiving first and second signals from first and second wearable items, wherein the first and second signals comprise information indicating movements of the first and second wearable items, respectively; determining that the movement of the first wearable item was intended for one or more commands and the movement of the second wearable item was not intended for any command based on the first and second signals indicating that the movements of the first and second wearable items occurred at the same time and in substantially the same direction; dynamically selecting a set of mappings defining how a gesture made by the movement of the first wearable item will be interpreted as the one or more commands; determining whether the gesture has a mapping in the set of mappings; translating the gesture into the one or more commands for the device based on the determination; and transmitting an acknowledgement to the first wearable item, wherein the acknowledgment indicates a successful detection of the gesture, and wherein the acknowledgement is configured to initiate a feedback response at the first wearable item.
