Within the context of Home Automation, the design of man-machine interfaces have assumed a central role for the development of smart environments. In this respect, the interaction based on gestures measured through inertial devices represents a fascinating and interesting solution thanks to a new generation of ubiquitous technologies that allow to pervasively and seamlessly control the human space.
