- ChuckMcM 9y agoYes, a lot similar. I wonder how they differentiate.
- stonewhite 9y agoFrom the article: > Previously, researchers have been able to detect up to 25 individual motor units. Reardon claims to have greatly surpassed that, recording about 100 individual units So basically, they have achieved much greater throughput, and that number is going up.
- prawn 9y agoHopefully it's actually useful. I pre-ordered the Myo, used it a couple of times and have left it in a drawer since. Doesn't work reliably enough even with simply gestures to take on a basic task in your workflow. I had hoped to use it to switch work spaces or bring up frequent apps, but it was easier to do things manually rather than have the gesture fail 50% of the time.
- ChuckMcM 9y agoI had a similar experience with the Myo, I found that if you use the conductive gel that they use on heart monitors it helps considerably.
