I own one of these (I went to a lot of hackathons in college, and Myo armbands were one of the prizes that were given out like candy).

Unfortunately, it's just not good enough. Whether it's their choice of EMG sensor or that EMG technology just isn't there yet, the Myo's gesture detection is both incredibly limited (five or six simple finger-and-hand gestures, when I used it last) and not very accurate. It's a neat little device and I had a lot of playing using it for the first 30 minutes, but it's firmly in the "curious toy" category.

Hmm, so the product doesn't have much potential in its current state. I suppose it would be difficult to improve far beyond that using the same technology - perhaps they'll try and move to some sort of AR based solution?

The concept seems really neat and it'd be a shame if it all ended up not working out.

Seems like vision based detection would be both easier and better.
