Thalmic Labs (YC W13) Raises $14.5M

  • I am also a pre-orderer but I believe that the MYO guys have a very interesting take on gestures and gesture control. There is still a long way for the product to become mainstream and the fact that the new Kinect has a camera that can do everything the MYO does without an armband on your hand will definitely make the competition very interesting.

  • MYO is one of those products that, if executed right, can be the harbinger of a new age of computing. Neuro is still at least a few years away, voice is dorky, vision is flaky.

    Now if only they had come up with a cooler name than MYO!

  • Wish I could have been in on this :) This is the perfect interface for wearables like Google Glass.

  • Really excited to see where they take this product. Congrats to the Thalmic team!

  • Congratulations!

    There's a race on now — who will ship pre-orders first, Myo or Leap Motion?
