Hello!

Last weekend I participated in a Hackathon and I learned about this bracelet that gets muscle signal for gestures that uses Lua in its API. I think it's not listed under the list of where Lua is used or maybe I couldn't find it. Maybe we should add it?

Anyway, it's very cool and I think you should check it out, it's called Myo and apparently it's developed in Canada:

https://developer.thalmic.com/docs/api_reference/platform/script-tutorial.html

And if you wanna take a look on my team's hack using Myo, this is it:

(We won the "Best User Input" prize at HackLondon and I made sure to mention how Lua is lovely on various occasions :3)

Cheers,
Etiene Dalcol.
