Comment on The Minuum keyboard project: mobile keyboards reimaginedparent

Comments

I'm excited about MYO too, and thanks for bringing ASETNIOP to my attention.

But I think "practical" is the wrong word for the advantages of both of those technologies (separately and also in combination). "Powerful" seems more to-the-point.

Myo requires specialized hardware. ASETNIOP requires specialized training. Minuum doesn't require the former (beyond an accelerometer), and almost none of the latter.

I think Minuum would combine well with Myo.

ASETNIOP's got a learning curve, but a MUCH higher ceiling. I'm seeing 37 wpm quoted as the top speed for Minuum, whereas here's a demo of an average speed of 65 wpm sustained over three minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nygdYinzpmk
