Understanding Thresholds

  1. Settings Menu:
    • Navigate to Settings > Advanced to access threshold adjustments
  2. Quick Access:
    • Press and hold the settings icon in home view for a shortcut to advanced settings
ThresholdDescription
Wrist ThresholdControls how fast of a wrist rotation is needed to toggle gestures
Flick ThresholdDetermines how pronounced your flick tap movement must be
Double Tap IntervalSets the time window for detecting double taps (how quickly you must perform them)
Flick TimeoutSets the time window after a tap within which a hand motion has to occur to be considered a flick (set to 40ms if you experience accidental triggers in wrong directions)

Threshold Settings for Different Environments

WowMouse allows you to adjust threshold settings based on your environment. These settings help optimize gesture detection accuracy in different conditions:

Indoor vs Outdoor Settings

When using WowMouse in different environments, you may need to adjust your threshold settings:

  • Indoor Settings: In quiet, stable environments, you can use more sensitive thresholds. This allows for subtle, smaller gestures that require less effort.

  • Outdoor Settings: In dynamic environments with more movement (walking, public transit, etc.), more robust thresholds are recommended. This helps prevent false detections from environmental vibrations and natural body movements.

Below are our recommended threshold configurations for different environments:

Indoor Threshold Settings

MappingSettings
Wrist Shake Threshold2 of 6
Flick Threshold1 of 5
Double Tap Interval2 of 5 (300 ms)
Flick Timeout1 of 5 (220 ms)

Outdoor Threshold Settings

MappingSettings
Wrist Shake Threshold4 of 6
Flick Threshold5 of 5
Double Tap Interval1 of 5 (240 ms)
Flick Timeout0 of 5 (40 ms)

Customizing Your Mappings

WowMouse allows you to create custom mappings tailored to your specific needs. To customize your mappings:

  1. Open the WowMouse application on your watch
  2. Navigate to Settings > Select Preset
  3. Select the gesture you want to customize
  4. Choose from the available actions

Remember that the most effective mappings are those that feel natural and intuitive to you. Experiment with different configurations to find what works best for your workflow.
