Microsoft is connecting EMG sensors to arm muscles and then detecting finger gestures based on the muscle movement picked up by those sensors. It does away for the need of a pesky camera (or Power Glove) to read complicated hand gestures, and can even sense modified versions of the gestures to be performed while your hands are full. Microsoft's developing a wireless EMG sensor module that could be placed all over the body, and while like all Microsoft Research projects this seems pretty far from market, there's a small, optimistic part of us that could see some of the benefits here for controlling mobile devices. And boy do we love controlling mobile devices.

Sounds like the writer needs more life experience.
I remember when hiphopgamer mentioned that he had seen this. Looks pretty cool if you combine it with natal to create real precision accuracy.
i was just about to mentioned the hiphop gammer well i guess people caN STOP HATING AND GIVE THAT MAN HIS credit.
Epic fail,written all over this.
Nice to see MS moving things forward. I wonder if we will see something similar to the GH thing on Natal? Not identical, of course, since I don't see them releasing Natal with a bunch of EMG sensors, but maybe a different twist on it.
I thought it was stupid when Hip Hop Gamer said he say it, I was like 'NO way MS would do it", guess I was wrong and HHG was right.
Props to HHG.
I like this as a 'everyday object' to control everything from alarms, tvs etc more than I do for gaming. Even MP3 players .
