Myo Unveiled


 

 

Technology is being brought to the commercial market at an incredible pace these days, and it seems as if each new invention becomes more and more unbelievable.  Most recently is Myo the gesture control armband from Thalmic Labs.  This is another wearable device that allows the user to control electronics by simply using hand and arm gestures.  With over 40,000 pre-orders the product has grown and advanced far beyond the initially offered prototype, and looks like it will rank up there right along with the other big names in biotech hardware.

 

The past few years have seen some amazing advancements in technology.   Hardware like the Oculus Rift and Google Glass have changed the gaming industry, and have made that long sought after dream of virtual reality attainable.  Even more recently we have seen Marriott Hotel’s Teleporter, a device that puts the user in a simulation that manifest a paradise vacation local without any actual travel.  The Teleporter uses more then just visuals; it gives the user the total experience by making use of the most cutting edge of 4-D technology.  Now we have Myo, an armband that allows the user to manipulate computers and smart technology via hand motions and muscles in the users forearm.  The device is not overly complex to master and it only requires the memorization of a handful of gestures. This innovation can do everything from turn the TV off and on, to shooting a simulated gun in your favorite video game.

 

The effect to someone who grew up in the era of blockbuster video and VHS tapes seems almost surreal.  We are advancing so rapidly and so exponentially its like living in a science fiction novel.   It will really be only a very short time before virtual reality becomes a viable alternate reality.
