thoughts on the myo? https://www.thalmic.com/myo/#
It seems really cool for what it is, and the video showcases some pretty amazing sensory capabilities. If we could get a set of subdermal sensors in the muscle tissue (communicating with an external armband thing inducing power) we could easily have waay more sensitivity than this.

    I looked at the MYO a while ago, it looks cool, and the videos make it seem useful, but I have my doubts about whether it will it will actually be useful, e.g. how will you choose which other device it's controlling?
    still, it will be interesting to try then it's finally available.
