ABSTRACT:
Biometric sensors such as electromyographic sensors21A and21B sense muscle flexing. The resultant signals are sensed11and utilized to establish13a corresponding angle of movement and to establish15magnitude of movement for an on-screen display indicator such as an on-screen cursor61.In one embodiment, the electromyographic sensor signals are shifted and scaled31.Wireless transmissions can be utilized to increase portability of the sensor interface.
