Thalmic Labs, the wearable company most well-known for its Myo armband, has announced the opening of its San Francisco office as well as a new chief marketing officer.

Using Thalmic Labs’ Myo armband, a wearable that uses muscular activity to control electronic devices via Bluetooth, the researchers found a way to help one man who lost his arm to cancer wirelessly control his prosthetic arm.

Thalmic Labs has launched an online marketplace where users of its Myo armband can choose from more than 100 applications for the device that reads electrical signals in arm muscles to control digital technology.

Thalmic Lab's Myo wearable gesture control device enables users to manipulate digital technologies using hand movements. 

Thalmic Lab's gesture control Myo-armband has partnered with its first musician, Grammy-nomianted DJ Armin Van Buuren, to bring gesture control to his live performances -- potentially using the armband to control lights, video, effects and even sound, using a custom integration built especially for Van Buuren by Haute Technique. 

Thalmic Labs, the Canadian startup behind Myo, an armband which lets a wearer control movements on a screen with a flick of the wrist has announced a slew of partnerships with developers to make it easier for people in industries like healthcare and construction to use Google Glass as they go about their workday.

Lance Ulanoff, Chief Correspondent and Editor-at-Large of Mashable reviews Myo from Thalmic Labs as one of "those smart and deceptively simple-looking inventions that has the potential to change the way we work and live”. 

Thalmic Labs, a startup in Kitchener, Ontario, is shipping pre-orders of its highly anticipated Myo armband, the latest innovation in the burgeoning field of wearable tech. The device allows users to control and manipulate computers, video games, smartphones, robotic devices, drones, and other technology with arm gestures and movements. The company says Myo uses a new type of biosensor, which can pick up electrical impulses in a person's arm muscles.

Causing a stir on the internet is a new wearable device known as the Myo. Coming from startup Thalmic Labs the Myo is a one-size-fits-all armband that can be used to interact with your computer by simply moving your arm around.

A startup called Thalmic Labs is on the verge of releasing the Myo, an armband that allows you to interact with a computer through motion commands. Sensors in the device measure the motion and electrical activity of a person's arm, allowing it to figure out the specific hand gesture someone is making.

After years of tweaking, the technology that will make you think you’re a Jedi — or maybe Tom Cruise inMinority Report — is gearing up for its launch later this year.

Last year, a Canadian startup called Thalmic Labs showed off the Myo motion-sensing, muscle-reading armband, which gets us one step closer to the VR of our dreams—by freeing up our hands. Now the company has a final hardware design for the $149 Myo, and says that it will begin shipping in September.

Thalmic Labs' Myo device is more sophisticated than Kinect, and is built to read the smallest activity in your muscle. You can take it with your wherever you go, and this portability makes it the unanimous choice over Kinect. The device defines the future of air gesture control.
