MYO Brings Mobility To Gesture Control Interfaces

 Gadgets  

MYO, hi-tech armband lets you use your muscles to wirelessly control your computer, phone, and other favorite digital technologies. The device is able to measure electrical activity in your muscles and use these signals as gesture controls for other devices and computers.

The MYO controller is an arm bracelet that you wear well above your wrist but below the elbow. MYO is able to measure electrical activity in your muscles instantly and use these signals as a human-computer interaction system.

By using electrical activity in your muscles, rather than relying on a camera as in the Microsoft Kinect or the soon-to-be available Leap Motion.  This gives MYO the unique ability to be a portable gesture interaction device.

According to the product's developers, the result is a seamless way to interact with computers, and a truly magical sense of control.


The hi-tech armband lets you use your muscles to wirelessly control your computer, phone, and other favorite digital technologies.

MYO will cost $150. It's up for pre-order now and the Waterloo, Ontario developers are claiming it will ship later this year.
