Several flagship phones recently launched are equipped with Gesture operation With this trend, this gesture operation is not limited to mobile phones. Canadian start-up Thalmic Labs recently developed an innovative product called MYO armband. Users can give instructions to some electronic products as long as they move their fingers or palms.

along with Google glasses As a mainstream product, more wearable intelligent devices will come out in the future. But there are still some problems puzzling us at present, that is, how users control them. So far, gesture control of most devices depends on the camera , which means that the device must be fixed at a certain position, and at the same time, the preset gesture must be used, which is particularly unnatural, although the action will eventually be captured by the camera. Someone proposed the idea of gesture control, so that users do not have to pass Intelligent mobile phone Or other devices, you can directly interact with wearable devices, but so far, this technology is not perfect.

But Thalmic Labs believes that he has found a better solution, which can accurately interpret the intention of users when they operate the device through gestures. Thalmic Labs has developed a new product called MYO - an armband that can be worn on the forearm. With the help of Bluetooth technology, MYO armband can establish contact with PC, mobile phone and other devices, so that users can pass Gesture control Electronic equipment. MYO armband is the first product created by Thalmic Lab, which uses a series of sensors and machine learning technologies to let forearm muscles determine what information users use gestures to convey. Once confirmed, the user can complete the operations that appear on the screens of different devices.

MYO armband is easy to operate and use. For example, users can control wireless devices through it. Thalmic Lab also hopes that it will not be used in the future touch panel , can control Google Glass, etc Wearable device 。 In addition to end users, Thalmic Lab also hopes to attract developers' attention. To this end, the company released an API that allows third-party developers to create applications that can use their gesture control technology. Thalmic Lab's vision is to create a platform for others to develop their own applications based on MYO gesture control.
