The neuromotor bracelet of the goal
Goal researchers have developed a bracelet that translates hand gestures into commands to interact with a computer – from the movement of a cursor to the transcription of their handwater to text.
End of mouse and keyboard? One new goal bracelet It comes to make current personal devices much more affordable, especially for people with reduced mobility or muscle weakness.
But the best is that anyone can start to control their devices effortlessly.
In an article this week in Naturethe reality team Labs described their sEMG-RD (Surface Electromyography Research Device), which uses sensors to translate the electrical signals of the motor nerves that travel through the pulse to hand into digital commands that can be used to control a connected device.
These signs are the brain to say by hand to perform actions which we have decided to do, so we can think of them as intentional instructions.
As explained by, the early goal to work with this for years. In 2021, the company had the prototype of a gesture control device electromyography. The goal was interested in developing this technology to improve interactions in augmented reality experiences and initially aimed to allow simple interactions, such as replicating a single mouse click.
But the new SEMG-RD technology goes much further. Will not only control a cursor on the screen in a unidirectional mode (such as a laser pointer), but also navigate through an interface and Select items using touches with fingers, slips and touches with the thumb.
In addition, you can introduce text imitating manual written at a speed of 20.9 words per minute.
The team believes this technology can be developed to directly detect the intended gesture force and be used in more subtle controls for cameras and joysticks. It can also reduce the already small physical efforts needed to operate mobile phones and other digital devices.
