Introduction Into Myo - Wearable Gesture Control

When we talk about user interface (UI) in computing, we’re referring to how a computer program or system represents itself to its user, usually via graphics, text and sound. We’re all familiar with the typical Windows and Apple operating system where we interact with icons on our desktop with our mouse cursors. Prior to that, we had the old-school text-based command-line prompt. But now it is new age, using Myo - Wearable Gesture Control now we can control all of the movement only with our arm! Look at the video below to see it in action.

Myo - Wearable Gesture Control is combining five distinct poses — wave left, wave right, spread fingers, fist, and thumb-to-pinky — with motion, the Myo armband turns your hand into a controller for technology. Using a 9-axis IMU, it senses the motion, orientation and rotation of your forearm. The Myo armband transmits this information over a Bluetooth Smart connection to communicate with technology. To see more how it works, you can click this link . This thing really makes me wonder, how our technology will be evolved in the future. You can buy the Myo  Armband from the official link. For only $199 USD.
