"It's like harnessing the Force: A new armband uses the electrical activity in your muscles to let you wirelessly control digital devices. \nCalled the Myo, the armband was developed by Canadian startup, Thalmic Labs. Sensing the wearer's muscle movements and motions, it detects changes in hand gesture \"right down to each individual finger,\" as well as \"subtle movements in all directions,\" according to the company. Indeed, the Myo even accounts for accidental input.\nThe armband connects with most devices via Bluetooth, enabling users to control presentations, browse the Internet, play video games and edit audio, among other tasks \u2014 entirely hands-free. Thalmic says Windows and Mac OS will be supported, and that APIs will be available for iOS and Android developers to integrate the Myo on the mobile platforms. \nSoon to fulfill every Padawan's dreams, its first shipment is slated to go out in late 2013. Aspiring Jedis can preorder the Myo online for $149. Would you buy the device? Tell us in the comments, below. \n\nImage courtesy of YouTube, ThalmicLabs\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
