MYO armband for gesture control

myo

MYO is a gadget in the form of a bracelet placed on the forearm, and then follows the movement of the arm and muscle gestures as input data. The result is a control system that can work in conjunction with a computer, smartphone, TV, robot or any other suitable device.

In the demonstration video we can see a remarkable number of arm movements that bracelets can read from the simplest, like horizontal swipe through the air, to very complicated moves like finger snapping. Users can therefore easily manage iTunes, play Mass Effect 3, hold the presentations or manage gadgets and toys.

The core of the bracelet consists of ARM processor combined with sensors that together run on rechargeable batteries. Communication with other devices is achieved via Bluetooth, and it is compatible with Windows, OS X, iOS and Android operating systems. Preorders are already being accepted at the moment, while this device is priced at $149, and delivery is expected late this year.
