Microsoft Looking To Muscle Based Computer Controls

It certainly looks like games of the future will become more interactive, as that’s a subject that many companies are looking into. Now Microsoft has come up with a rather useful notion, which results in a patent for several methods of controlling a computer using Electromyography (EMG). that method will read the electrical activity of muscles and translate those signals into instruction sets, which would control the computer.

Another practical example of real-world use would be the a driver can interact with the vehicle’s navigation system without taking his hands off the steering wheel.
