Microsoft Looking To Muscle Based Computer Controls

Microsoft Looking To Muscle Based Computer Controls

It certainly looks like games of the future will become more interactive, as that’s a subject that many companies are looking into. Now Microsoft has come up with a rather useful idea, which results in a patent for several methods of controlling a computer using Electromyography (EMG). This method will read the electrical activity of muscles and translate those signals into instruction sets, which would control the computer. It kind of gives you an idea of Project Natal or Nintendo’s Wii on steroids. Another practical example of real-world use would be the a driver can interact with the vehicle’s navigation system without taking his hands off the steering wheel.
