Surface electromyography (sEMG) technology at the wrist represents the next groundbreaking way for people to control devices throughout their day. This non-invasive wrist device senses and interprets muscle activations that can be used as computer inputs in the form of a human-computer interface (HCI). This will enable people to control their devices “on-the-go” using simple, easy, and expressive input—without needing to shift their attention to a touchscreen or another physical input device.
