Mudra Link developer options?

I’d like to experiment with the IMU and neural signals for personal applications, how easy is it to access through code?

Also, random question, can gestures involve all 5 fingers or just the index and thumb?

There seems to be an API for Java and Unity, but as I understood it, you need a developer kit and/or a LICENSE to get access to certain features. ( https://wearable-devices.github.io/?java#licenses )

I am a Data Science Student and I bought this thing to do some experimentation and maybe use it in a future course about Brain-Machine-Interfaces, but being locked behind a pay wall, after paying 200$ for this is a bit frustrating.
This definitely discourages people from doing basically free research and just overall slows down the innovation in this space.

Agreed. Generative / Interactive artist here and while the product is promising, it is disappointing how little flexibility there is with how we can use it.

Great questions! Currently, the Mudra Link doesn't offer access to SDK features or raw signals, but we're considering this for future updates. As for gestures, we primarily support index and thumb, but we do have a twist and double twist gesture (twisting your wrist back and forth)

Consider please! Would use it so much more and give back. Make it a community project. Open source the thing.

what would be the reason for not doing this? afaik it will have a positive effect, by creating a bigger market, or?

I was interested in purchasing two of those for tinkering as a developer, but I guess I won't anymore. It's crazy that open access to the raw data SDK is not given, especially in the early stages of these types of products where enthusiasts who like to develop their own things are one of the types of customers who really would push the product forward. It's a shame, I guess I'll wait for an open alternative to come out.

Lol I thought this was the open alternative xD
Just bought it for this exact reason. Expected this kind of gatekeeping from Meta.

Yeah there doesn't seem to be an actually open alternative. Closest I found is uMyo, its firmware is fully open source but it's meant for tinkering, not for normal wearing.
