A new entrant to the gesture control market, Thalmic Labs, has created MYO, a 3D gesture control system that relies on motion sensing and muscular activity for its control inputs. The armband device senses muscle movements and gestures and transmits signals to a paired controller device via Bluetooth 4.0.
The concept
is impressive, with
the main drawback
being that it
can only sense
motion in one
arm rather than
the whole body
pickup of its competitors.
