Forums - Gaming - Microsoft patents EMG muscle sensors. Guitar Hero Vid.

Microsoft's research and development department is looking into a user interface system that uses EMG muscle sensors.

According to Engadget (and the YouTube video below) Microsoft is connecting EMG sensors to arm muscles and then detecting finger gestures based on the muscle movement.

How far this technology could go is anyone's guess but it's come a long way from the Power Glove and Vision camera days.

Check out the video below and then suggest what games you think it might work best with. Or will the technology be good enough to invent new types of game altogether?
