Flexibility and freedom are always desired in virtual reality environments. Traditional inputs, like mouse or keyboard, hamper the interactions between the user and the virtual environment. To improve the interaction in qualitative terms in a virtual environment, the interaction must be as natural as possible, and because of that, hand gestures have become a popular means to the human-computer interaction. The development of immersion devices like head-mounted displays brought the need for a new way of interaction and a challenge to developers. Hand gestures recognition using electromyography signals (EMG) has increased the attention because the rise of cheaper wearable devices that can record accurate EMG data. One of the outstanding devices in this area is Myo armband, equipped with eight EMG sensors and a nineaxis inertial measurement unit (IMU). The objective of this work is to evaluate the usability of the Myo armband as a device for selection and manipulation of 3D objects in virtual reality environments, aiming to improve the user experience, taking advantage of the possibility to measure the force applied to a gesture and to use Myo vibrations as a feedback system. This study aims to answer the following question: Has Myo armband high grade of usability for selection/manipulation of 3D objects in Virtual Reality Environments? And to achieve that purpose, four sub-questions were proposed to guide this research: I) Which resources of Myo can be used in Virtual Reality Environments (VRE)? II) What are the limitations of the Myo armband? III) Can selection and manipulation tasks be performed using Myo armband? IV) How can Myo armband enrich the selection and manipulation tasks? To answer to the first two sub-questions, we conducted a literature review that covers Myo technology, its advantages and limitations, and related works. Also, it includes basic concepts about Interactions in VRE. To answer to the last two sub-questions, we proposed two selection/manipulation techniques using Myo, which were tested with users and the results were compared, evaluating their usability.
