Gesture parameter tuning

Embodiments are disclosed herein that relate to tuning gesture recognition characteristics for a device configured to receive gesture-based user inputs. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a head-mounted display device including a plurality of sensors, a display configured to present a user interface, a logic machine, and a storage machine that holds instructions executable by the logic machine to detect a gesture based upon information received from a first sensor of the plurality of sensors, perform an action in response to detecting the gesture, and determine whether the gesture matches an intended gesture input. The instructions are further executable to update a gesture parameter that defines the intended gesture input if it is determined that the gesture detected does not match the intended gesture input.
