Myo Wrist Band Controls With Gestures

November 1, 2013 By Dan Rosenbaum

white_myo_topThe Canadian startup Thalmic Labs is building a motion controller called the Myo. The company says it senses motion and muscle movement to to send control signals over a Bluetooth 4.0 connection.

The sizzle reel is pretty cool and gives an idea of where their heads are at in terms of applications. And yes, there will be an API. It looks more like a Wonder Woman bracelet than a Fuelband, but it kind of works more like a Wonder Woman bracelet, so that’s OK.

 

Pre-orders are being taken for $149 in anticipation of an early 2014 ship date.
