Summary: Capturing the complex coordination of the human hand—which involves 34 muscles and 22 degrees of freedom—has been a “holy grail” for robotics and VR. Engineers have developed a wearable ultrasound wristband that tracks these movements in real time with unprecedented precision. By imaging the shifting tendons and muscles in the wrist (the “strings” that
