nope. the technology was invented by CTRL-labs, and at Meta after the acquisition.

yes the Myo was a similar, earlier, and less capable technology also based on EMG sensing.

I had one of those Thalmic Myo armbands 12ish years ago. Used it a couple of times and then forgot about it. From memory, there were only a few gestures available to program, and anything I could think to sync them to was just as easily handled with keyboard shortcuts (show desktop, close window, change workspace, etc).

The technology was "invented" by CTRL-Labs like how OpenAI "invented" transformer-based language models.

Do you have any evidence or are you just going to go with repeating a bald-face lie?

lol you can go ask Thomas Rearden himself if Ctrl-labs "invented" gesture recognition from sEMG.
