In addition, the easy-wake gestures feature enables users to perform a double-tap gesture to quickly activate the device from sleep mode.

TrueTouch enables best-in-class tracking of fingers in gloves of various materials and thicknesses, and automatically switches between glove and finger tracking without requiring the user to switch settings.
