Visa Technology based in Los Angeles, California has
created a new wearable motion controller aptly named the Ion. Simply select the
motion controller onto your arm to take control of a wide variety of different
technology from drones to desktops. Ion is an armband that reads the muscle
activity in your forearm and gives you touch-free control of technology with
hand gestures and motion, connecting to your smartphone, computer, drone or
project using Bluetooth technology.
The Ion wearable motion controller is now available to backfire
Indiegogo with early bird pledges available from just US$ 49. If all goes well
worldwide shipping is expected to take place during November 2018. “The Ion
armband uses exclusive gesture-based movements that are intuitive and easy to
master. They’re based on five distinct hand gestures combined with motion.
You’ll also feel when the Ion is in sync with you through haptic feedback (with
short, medium and long vibrations).”
