What is it about?
The SoloFinger concept: while grasping an object, one can perform a single-fnger microgesture while other fngers stay idle. These easy and rapid-to-perform gestures exhibit a distinct movement signature, which is not present during daily actions. This yields a robust gestural input compatible with versatile object geometries and actions.

Why is it important?
Such gestures might be used to replace the wake word in virtual assistant spaces (e.g., "Alexa" or "Hey Google"), but can also offer benefits in a myriad of applications, ranging from controlling mobile devices when on the move and hands are busy, to controlling systems in healthcare contexts.
Perspectives
It addresses the problem of false activation while grasping everyday objects.
