Thalmic Labs’ first product, the Myo armband, is a gesture-control device that bridges the gap between humans and machines. While measuring the electrical signals in forearm muscles, the device provides the user a more seamless interaction with the digital technologies they encounter in their everyday lives.

Myo has a great number of use cases and, through open-source code, can be configured to an endless number of devices through third-party developer applications. In the future, the armband user will be able to browse the internet, play video games, edit videos, and create music just by using simple gestures and motions with his or her hands.

Thalmic Labs was co-founded by Stephen Lake, Aaron Grant and Matthew Bailey. The Myo armband is available for preorder today: https://www.thalmic.com/en/myo/preorder/
