Myo Band:
Innovative Control Systems
The Myo band by CTRL-Labs revolutionizes control interfaces and interactions. By detecting muscle movements' electrical signals, users can effortlessly control devices and applications through intuitive gestures and motions.
As part of the organisation committee, I delivered a workshop to allow postgraduate researchers to learn about innovative control systems for mixed reality applications. The workshop took place at the 2021 Wearable Robotics Summer School (Madrid, Spain).
Languages: C# (Unity), Python
What did we do?
Sample Archery Game
I guided the team working on the implementation of the Thalmic Myo Band device with available Unity-based games.
In the sample video, swipes to the left or right control the rotation of the player avatar, and performing a fist gesture shoots arrows.
Developer Resources
To facilitate initial gesture classification and data analysis, I prepared comprehensive Unity resources to collect and record the wearable's muscle activity data (sEMG) into CSV files.

2021 Wearable Robotics Summer School
I was honoured to be part of the organisation committee for the international postgraduate research school in Wearable Robotics, which took place in Madrid, Spain.
This unique program provides a platform for PhD and MSc researchers to gain invaluable skills, learn from industry experts, and connect with like-minded enthusiasts in a dynamic and immersive environment, filled with exciting opportunities for growth and collaboration.
