• MYOLINK esports: Exploring EMG-based Control Interface through Muscle Activation and Inhibition to Enable Common Gameplay Mechanics among Players with and without Physical Disabilities

  Masato Shindo, Shiina Takano, Shuto Sako, Akihiro Miyata, Ryosuke Aoki (2026) — Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  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…
