This is research. First thing, why make something small when you have to modify them all the time, it's better to have it a little big then. Second, it's good to be researching more options, so that one can find out if one is better than the other or to find that they can be combined to create a better product.

It's only a matter of time, Both Samsung and Apple are developing watches to use with the mobile phone (some are already on market) no doubt they'll find a way of shrinking this further and stick it in the watch, Personally this doesnt excite me but it might be really usful with a bit of refinement, It'd work well with google glass but i think that also needs work

sooo why the fuck arent they using this with kinect

yes, the myo, it's a wristband that directly measure muscle contractions in the arm

search for getmyo trailer, it's on pre-order for 135$ and coming out in 2013 (although I'll believe that when it's on my desk)

this is it guys! we're getting closer to our ultimate omni directional first person experience! :D

[portalwalker]

is there another device that can track the movement of your fingers? well you know this is prototype, they'll work on atleast making the camera smaller and smoother.

[shodanxx]

that thing is too big, what about the other device that directly reads off the muscle in your arm

[Hitman7846]

Now lets make it into an omni tool lmao
