WATERLOO, ON — (Marketwired) — 03/02/15 — Thalmic Labs, pioneers in the future of human-computer interaction, today announces the availability of its gesture control device, the Myo armband, on Amazon.com.
Out of the box, the Myo armband detects five distinct hand gestures to wirelessly control various technologies. The armband reads the electrical activity in your muscles and the motion of your arm to let you control things like presentation slides or music players. Myo is bridging the gap between humans and machines by enabling users to seamlessly interact with their digital world as technology becomes an extension of their body.
“We are excited that the Myo armband is now available to Amazon.com customers,” said Stephen Lake, Co-founder and CEO of Thalmic Labs. “In addition to the increased exposure through Amazon.com, we look forward to getting our product in the hands of people who are interested in transforming the way we interact with technology.”
From piloting drones to playing computer games, Myo has the potential to completely control your digital world. A community of developers, hackers, and makers are creating applications that will unlock the Myo armband–s potential and transform how we interact with technology. The company plans to release an application that will soon allow users to map gestures to their keyboards for customized control.
The Myo armband is a one-size-fits-all device, designed for those age 12 and up. Priced at $199, customers can order now at .
