The MYO, its name derived from the Greek myos, for muscle, instantly measures electrical activity in muscles and connects wirelessly to computers, smartphones and other electronics, enabling users to control these devices with a simple wave of the hand.

Some of my engineer friends have serious doubts as to how well this technology will actually work (haters gon' hate?) but nonetheless I will be rooting for the guys at Thalmic. Good stuff.

That's unfair. It's fully possible to want something to work, while having serious reservations about the technical feasibility of it.


Is this a demo video or is this a concept video? I can't find anything on the site to say one way or the other.


Appears to be a concept video to me.


I'm pretty sure it's a concept video. I will edit my post above accordingly.


The founders are all Mechatronics grads from uWaterloo, so they know what they're talking about.
