EMG controlled webcam

Josh Widzer and Tony Swanson built an EMG controlled webcam

 

Small motors steer a webcam in pan & tilt

EMG electrodes are connected to Tony's upper arms

An EMG amplifier detects electrical signals from muscle contractions, and outputs to a computer

As shown in this quicktime movie, left arm contractions cause the camera to tilt up, right arm contractions cause it to tilt down
