after making quick work of that, i wanted to use it to control my mac using gesture controls and that's how kinesis was born. it has been very cool being able to swipe from desktops using my fingers, swiping up to open up mission control or controlling a virtual knob to adjust my volume.
i definitely havent scratched the surface with the neural band but it has been a really fun endeavor thus far! i really hope others can find creative uses for their neural bands too :)
note: i really hope this works on other bands because the sample size has just been me so far.

Could I suggest that you shoot a new promotional demo video with enough lighting that viewers can see your hands? Personally I'd be very curious to see and understand the actual gestures that support a real world workflow involving multiple desktops and applications, with the hands transitioning as needed between neural band mode for navigation vs. keyboard/mouse mode for fine-grained motor inputs.

Are they patented to heck and back or can another manufacturer make a EMG bracelet for controlling a PC?

Anyone have any long-term hands-on experience with it? Would love to know if it feels clunky or not...

Have you considered providing GadgetBridge support? I don't see anything on https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/issues?stat... but it could bring interesting combinatorial possibilities.
For anybody who wants to try that without any extra hardware but just your webcam give a go to https://codepen.io/mediapipe/pen/bGweWyR based on MediaPipe Hands in JavaScript https://chuoling.github.io/mediapipe/solutions/hands.html
You can bind a hand position or gesture (e.g. going from one position to another) to a desktop command by running this in the background on your NodeJS companion app and spawn() for the commands.
FWIW did something similar using OpenCV https://fabien.benetou.fr/Portfolio/PostureMaintenance 15 years go.
If you also are interested in gaze tracking https://lebmatter.github.io/gazerjs/ is another Web based example.

I remember when OCZ NIA came out and it claimed BCI and it was effectively doing muscle activity too.
At least meta is properly representing what it does!

No level of convenience will tip that scale.

I've been moving more and more away from terminal and IDEs, and I've been exploring how I could move to a flip phone / table + compact keyboard as most of my development time is now possible to be done via just using TTS.
I'd be interested in exploring if something like this could remove the need for a mouse or touching the screen as well.
Some alternatives that are not bound to the meta glasses: Mudra Link (USD 299), Mudra Band for Apple Watch (USD 350), MindRove Armband (USD 800, wow), SiFi Labs SiFi Band (no price), OYMotion gForce Pro+ (USD 1250, ok this side project is starting to look expensive)
