The Myo Arm Band for gesture control
summary
Myo is an armband that reads muscle electrical activity with eight EMG sensors and inertial motion to control pointers and apps; it recognizes five built‑in gestures, calibrates with a two‑second pose, and connects over Bluetooth Low Energy. An SDK for Mac, Windows, Android and iOS plus a marketplace provide sample apps and keyboard mappings; shipped units exceed 50,000 and retail is $199. Use cases shown: sterile patient lookup, noisy construction photo capture, presentation control, drone and media control, and optional biometric-style identification.
