Show HN: Kinesis – Control your Mac with the Meta Neural Band

https://github.com/callbacked/kinesis
28•callbacked•59m ago
a couple hours ago i had astra take on a 10 month old repo of mine https://github.com/callbacked/neural-band-poc/ that involved finding a way to use the meta neural band independently from the glasses to read the sEMG data off of it. i really think it is a cool piece of technology that largely gets overlooked by the glasses, and always thought it was a shame it couldn't be used outside of its main application.

after making quick work of that, i wanted to use it to control my mac using gesture controls and that's how kinesis was born. it has been very cool being able to swipe from desktops using my fingers, swiping up to open up mission control or controlling a virtual knob to adjust my volume.

i definitely havent scratched the surface with the neural band but it has been a really fun endeavor thus far! i really hope others can find creative uses for their neural bands too :)

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?

Not sure how well it works but that is supposed to do the same thing

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?

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.
