Physical interaction design DH2400

(Victor Valle, Vincent Boumard, Hao Pei Chu & James Lomas)

This Myo Bracelet comes from Thalmic Labs. They have invented it in 2012 and they tested with some developers. They are building more and more units to start selling it in early 2014.

MYO is a gesture-based control device that connects the real and the digital world. The bracelet measures the electrical activity of the muscles, it can sense rotations and movements in the hand.

This device brings the possibility to control remote devices with natural gestures of your arm and hand.

We think it is quite cool and the window of applications for it can be really wide: home issues, industry controllers, gamers...
