discrete, Efficient, Ready

Inspired by the simple yet effective design of a football quarterback’s wearable playbook, the Metaru assistant is easy to wear and doesn’t restrict movement. The band lacks extraneous features, enabling efficient access to AI responses (much like how a quarterback accesses their plays). When not in use, the band sits snug and unassuming against the body.

Naming

Emg as a button

Surface electromyography(sEMG) non-invasively detects electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. By calibrating the sEMG system to recognize sequences of contractions (and not singular contractions, to avoid unintended cues) as commands, the system can effectively act as a ‘button’ to turn a microphone on and off.
