Project 2

MYO: wearable gesture control

allows the user to control technological devices, just with the gesture of the arm. This technology allows the user to have more control with technological devices, rather than being hindered by a mouse, you can physically act out the actions to achieve the desired action.

this device could be further adapted to help develop athletic skills.
