    The neural band always looked more interesting than the glasses tbh.

    I've been moving more and more away from terminal and IDEs, and I've been exploring how I could move to a flip phone / table + compact keyboard as most of my development time is now possible to be done via just using TTS.

    I'd be interested in exploring if something like this could remove the need for a mouse or touching the screen as well.

    Some alternatives that are not bound to the meta glasses: Mudra Link (USD 299), Mudra Band for Apple Watch (USD 350), MindRove Armband (USD 800, wow), SiFi Labs SiFi Band (no price), OYMotion gForce Pro+ (USD 1250, ok this side project is starting to look expensive)

    Kinesis is already a word and an Amazon product, might have better discoverability naming your project something unique and specific.

      And a band, and a company, and a .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesis

      Do you think it's likely someone goes looking for the real-time data processing platform, lands on this GitHub and gets confused?

        Discoverability is the degree to which something, especially a piece of content or information, can be found in a search of a file, database, or other information system. Discoverability is a concern in library and information science, many aspects of digital media, software and web development, and in marketing, since products and services cannot be used if people cannot find it or do not understand what it can be used for.

          > Most search engines support the use of the Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT to help end users refine the search query. Boolean operators are for literal searches that allow the user to refine and extend the terms of the search

          Not sure about you, but if I'm trying to find a tool, I don't search just "Houdini", but I'm also an adult who can put two terms together. I linked the above page in hopes that it might help you more efficiently use search engines in the future just like me.

        No, but I do think it is likely that someone might find this while looking for the kinesis keyboard, a popular product which has been on the market for 34 years.

    Meta doesn’t sell these separately from the glasses :(

    Are they patented to heck and back or can another manufacturer make a EMG bracelet for controlling a PC?

    Definitely interesting work, but Meta will get nothing from me, as far as I can help it.

    No level of convenience will tip that scale.
