Muscle Signals Replace VR Camera Tracking

⊲ Bioengineer.org ⊳ Researchers at Imperial College London have developed an ultrasound-based wearable that enables precise wrist and hand tracking for virtual reality without cameras or gloves. Using ultrasonic waves and machine learning, the system detects muscle movement beneath the skin, allowing accurate gesture recognition even when hands are out of view. The approach could reduce hardware bulk, lower power use, and improve reliability for VR, gaming, rehabilitation, and human–computer interaction.
