1. A head-wearable audio device, comprising:
a motion sensor configured to detect a motion event associated with a first user and output one or more motion parameter values associated with the detected motion event;
a processor; and
a memory device, the memory device storing program code to be executed by the processor, the program code comprising:
a gesture-type recognizer configured to select a gesture type from among a plurality of gesture types based on at least a comparison of the one or more motion parameter values with a first set of per-user per-gesture-type recognition parameter values, the first set of per-user per-gesture type recognition parameter values generated based on a first plurality of sensor output signatures for the first user that is different than a second plurality of sensor output signatures for a second user;
an action determiner configured to select an action from among a plurality of actions based on at least the selected gesture type; and
an action controller configured to cause the selected action to be executed by at least one of the head-wearable audio device or a device that is communicatively coupled to the head-wearable audio device.
