The Myo Gesture band has been around for some time now and has gotten better over time with newer versions and updates.

The Myo band can sense gestures. You can then map these gestures to navigate between slides, zoom in or out or even to create pointers.

The band requires some calibration and set up to work. There’s also what you’d call a ‘learning curve’ to using the band. But once you get used to it, you can do any gesture to zoom through your presentation.

The major drawback with Myo is its size. It wouldn’t bother you much after some time, and you can always tuck it away under your blazer or shirt, but it’s still a pretty obvious gadget.
