We're working on the latency, but a Kinect actually _can't_ do the same thing in this situation; too much interference from the stage lightning. (They actually tried other solutions, like Kinect, before switching to Myo!)

To be honest, i don't expect a useful solution to the latency problem. Kinect, Wii, Sony gyro controllers, Motion Leap, none of these have been able to reduce latency to a non-noticable level, and getting there would be a bit of a holy grail.

Good point about the Kinect though, that is interesting.

This aptly-timed blog post might help! https://www.thalmic.com/blog/big-data/

tl;dr We're officially releasing raw data to developers, for free.

Interesting. So is this incorrect (from the Hackaday post)?

"Anyone wanting to develop for the Myo now needs to submit an application and pay Thalmic ... up to $5000 for academic institutions." (inflammatory language removed)

Hey Roritharr! I'm one of the co-founders of Thalmic, and I want to thank you for your feedback. We actually don't handle the credit card info ourselves - all payment processing is done through Stripe (https://stripe.com/ca). My apologies that this fact wasn't made clear on our site, and we're working to fix that right now!

And just to be completely clear: the credit card info never even passes through our servers - it goes straight to Stripe!

Thanks for the verification. Another thing that irked me (felt shady) is that you don't have the info that it won't ship until the end of 2013 on your pre-order page.

Anyway, this thing will be an awesome addition to my Oculus Rift and (hopefully) Google Glass.

Thanks for making it!

PS: You should offer a cheaper "two arm" bundle designed for gaming.
