MyoWebToolkit

Live demo simulation https://myowebtoolkit.iti.gr A Myo device is required. Otherwise use W,A,S,D keys just to move the shoulder join (not activating the muscles).

1. What is it?

   This is a series of tools for Myo to do the following:

   • Remote data recording

   • Visualization of data

   • Simulation of hand gestures

   • A toolkit to do research on EMG, Muscles, Forces, Bone movements, Hand gestures

   • and more at:

In Proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Movement and Computing (MOCO '16). ACM, New York, NY, USA, , Article 3 , 8 pages. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1145/2948910.2948924

2. Requirements

   • Server You will need:

     • Apache server, e.g. XAMPP, for the Muscle simulator module
     • Apache and Node.js for the recording module

   • Client

     • You need a Chrome or Firefox browser
     • You need a Myo device

3. How to install?

   Server:

   • Copy everything to a path visible to web or your local client
   • Install Apache server and run it

   For remote recording also:

   • Install Node.js server and run "StartNodeServer.bat"

4. How check installation?

   • Simulation

     • Wear Myo
     • Open Chrome browser and type:
       http://serverurl/index.html
       where serverurl is your server path.
     • Make hand gestures

   • Data Recording

     • Wear Myo
     • Open Chrome browser and type:
       http://serverurl:3000/indexRecording.html
       where serverurl is your server path.
     • Write a nickname
       
     • Make hand gestures
       
     • Find your data at recordings/data_[mynickname].txt

5. How to extend?

   • Use phpstorm and connect to this repo at github
   • Upload your modifications
   • Follow any tasks assigned here
