Recognizing intent for player gestures

Now that we're moving the IR target and the microcontroller onto the costume, we need to experiment with how the player expresses the intent to preform a gesture. This is important because we do not want to falsely recognize a gesture when the player is just running around the field. The two options that I know of so far are this:

• Use an onscreen action, such as a double tap on the screen to bring up a menu
• Try recognizing gestures all the time and keep track of previous recognized gesture. Then only register affirmative gesture if previous and current match within a time limit.
