In this video Emego user, Christopher demonstrates how he uses the Emego with the very popular video game, Minecraft! He also explains how Emego can be used with various environmental controls simply by tensing his muscle.

Emego uses electromyography (EMG) to pick up the tibialis anterior muscle located in his right leg. Simply by tensing this muscle Christopher is able to control the Emego to act as a switch. No wires and easy to set up!
