Here's a video showing what he does with them:

Can't say i'm particularly impressed, since the delay is quite large and a kinect could do the same thing.

We're working on the latency, but a Kinect actually _can't_ do the same thing in this situation; too much interference from the stage lightning. (They actually tried other solutions, like Kinect, before switching to Myo!)

To be honest, i don't expect a useful solution to the latency problem. Kinect, Wii, Sony gyro controllers, Motion Leap, none of these have been able to reduce latency to a non-noticable level, and getting there would be a bit of a holy grail.

Good point about the Kinect though, that is interesting.

I wish Microsoft would do more with the Kinect and make it cross-platform. The MYO supports iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac: https://developer.thalmic.com
