Open, Accurate, and Calibration-Free Muscle-Computer Interfaces
Eddy and colleagues tackle one of the long-standing barriers to practical muscle-computer interfaces (MCIs): that accurate, cross-user gesture recognition from forearm EMG has historically required either per-user calibration or access to closed data…

MYOLINK esports: Exploring EMG-based Control Interface through Muscle Activation and Inhibition to Enable Common Gameplay Mechanics among Players with and without Physical Disabilities
Shindo, Takano, Sako, Miyata, and Aoki (NTT and Nihon University) propose MYOLINK esports, a paradigm for inclusive competitive gaming that shifts game control from kinematic inputs (body position and posture) to kinetic inputs (muscle force). Four s…

Consolidating computer operation and wheelchair control
This short ASSETS 2007 demo proposal from Torsten Felzer and Rainer Nordmann at Darmstadt University of Technology describes the integration of two previously separate assistive systems they had built for people with severe physical disabilities. The…

HaWCoS: The "Hands-free" Wheelchair Control System
This paper introduces HaWCoS (Hands-free Wheelchair Control System), a system that enables people with severe physical disabilities to control an electrically powered wheelchair using muscle contractions from any single muscle group in their body, wi…

Text Entry via Discrete and Analog Myoelectric Signals
This demo paper presents a prototype system for text entry using surface electromyography (sEMG) signals detected from muscles in the user's forearm. The system is intended for people with upper extremity disabilities who retain the ability to contro…

Exploring Aural Navigation by Screenless Access
This paper introduces screenless access, a paradigm for browsing aural information architectures using one-handed, in-air gestures recognised by an off-the-shelf Myo armband, freeing blind and visually impaired users from the constraint of holding an…

How Do People with Limited Movement Personalize Upper-Body Gestures? Considerations for the Design of Personalized and Accessible Gesture Interfaces
This study investigates how people with upper-body motor impairments design personalized gestures for common device functions like move, select, zoom-in, open, and delete. The researchers recruited 25 participants with conditions including spinal cor…
