Gesture Recognition Bracelet

The MYO technology does not require positioning coordinates and therefore allows greater freedom of movement, Gestures are identified by muscular and electrical activity in the forearm. This detection occurs without any electrodes touching the skin, and the recognition is instantaneous. Myo currently recognises about 20 gestures. For example, it recognises the swiping motions we use to scroll a page on a touchscreen.MYO is designed as a one-size-fits-all device. It uses Bluetooth 4.0, features onboard, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and works out-of-the-box with your Mac or Windows PC. This gesture recognition bracelet is one of the cool new gadgets that let you control devices by moving your hands.
                                                   
Invented by Stephen Lake, Matthew Bailey and Aaron Grant, the MYO armband (derived from the prefix "myo" meaning related to muscle) can identify hand gestures by interpreting biometric signals in your arm. When making a particular hand motion such as pointing, the armband can identify the gesture, which allows the pointing motion to be associated with a specific command for a digital device.
You can use hand signals to interact with televisions, computers, phones or any smart technology system. The importance of this technology is that it enables you to interact more naturally with devices by reducing the need for input peripherals like mice, keyboards or touchscreens.
                                                        
The problem with current gesture recognition technology is that it requires you to be in a specific location. This is because motion sensors and cameras require positioning coordinates to accurately interpret your motions using complex algorithms.
