With Thalmic Labs acquiring $120 million in investments from six companies, including Intel Capital, last week, the use of augmented reality technology in the medical field has once again received attention.
Thalmic Labs is the pioneer of the future of artificial computers, the company's first product, the Myo arm ring. Myo arm ring can be used to manipulate computers, mobile phones and other electronic products. Thalmic Labs calls its products the world's first EMG gesture control device. Its specific working principle is that when the user performs different gestures, the muscles on the forearm will emit different electronic signals. The advanced sensors built into Myo can capture these signals and process them with embedded algorithms. The result of the gesture recognition is then transmitted to the connected electronic device via Bluetooth 4.0 LE.
The medical field has a market prospect
Since its launch, the product has been used in entertainment, virtual reality, prosthetics and even sign language. Not only has it changed people's perceptions of future products, but it has also seen a larger market in the medical field.
The company works with the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to apply this technique to prosthetics, and patients can manipulate the prosthesis through the Myo arm. Using gesture control technology, the company has also developed gesture control tools into the surgical field. The surgeon can perform the operation by gesture, which greatly reduces the doctor's workload and improves the accuracy.
