1. A gesture recognition (GR) device, comprising:
a memory for storing instructions; and
a processor for executing the instructions to perform a method, the method comprising:
controlling illumination of a plurality of light sources mounted on a second unit of a circuit board based on assertion signals,
wherein the circuit board comprises a first unit and the second unit,
wherein the circuit board has an aspect ratio exceeding a threshold value,
wherein the threshold value corresponds to at least 70 percent difference between length and width of the circuit board,
wherein the first unit corresponds to a base unit configured to be grasped by hand of a user,
wherein the second unit corresponds to an elongate unit that extends outward from the first unit,
wherein the second unit is configured to have a minimal wand form factor, and
wherein rigid strength of the second unit is based on at least a shape of an outer shell and a structural attribute of the second unit.
