Are Muscle Sensors The Future Of Gaming?
Posted on Oct 31, 09 10:47 AM PDT
We’ve seem a simple game controller for games such as Pong, controllers for the Playstation and also Nintendo’s Wiimote, but will the gaming in the future see the absence of controllers? Well, with the muscle-computer interface technology being investigated by Microsoft, the University of Washington in Seattle, and the University of Toronto, it just might be a possibility. The gesture recognition software can decode muscle signals from the surface of the skin, which in turn can trigger events, or even be used to play games. Simply put, we could unlock our car, change the track on your MP3 player, or even play (air) Guitar Hero just my flexing our muscles or twiddling our fingers. Check out a cool demonstration of this technology in this video.
