Those gun-show tickets you’ve been offering out to everyone (that nobody ever takes) can suddenly do a lot more, thanks to Advancer Technologies. It’s developed an Arduino-based plug-and-play bio-feedback game controller that uses EMG (electromyography) sensors to monitor the electrical activity in your skeletal muscles and turn them into game controls.
