Electromyography (EMG) sensors are increasingly being integrated into virtual reality (VR) systems to enhance interaction and immersion. With strong potential across gaming, therapy, and human‑computer interaction, EMG technology is helping shape the next generation of intuitive VR experiences.
Surface EMG provides a reliable foundation for natural, gesture‑based control. These sensors can accurately recognize hand movements — for example, grasping or pointing — allowing users to interact with VR environments in a more direct and intuitive way.
Combining EMG and VR technologies not only elevates the gaming experience but also plays a meaningful role in rehabilitation. EMG sensors are increasingly used in VR‑based therapy to support motor recovery and improve functional outcomes. For example, EMG‑driven controls can help stroke patients practice motor skills by simulating real‑world tasks in a safe, engaging environment.
Our products’ open‑source approach gives users the freedom to build custom projects and devices that match their specific goals. The wireless EMG system
MYOstack v2.0 supports up to nine sensors, enabling the simultaneous capture of nine EMG signals — ideal for monitoring forearm muscle activity and accurately recognizing complex gestures.
MYOstack sensors are lightweight and have a very small footprint, allowing them to be placed closely together to capture a more detailed and complete picture of muscle activity and gesture patterns. The system’s wireless signal transmission adds comfort and freedom of movement, making it a practical choice for developing modern wearable solutions.
