Meta researchers have developed a watch-style tool that can interact with devices using gestures and even ideas.
As the company details in its blog post, Bluetooth devices allow users to control a computer with “comfortable hands” [their] “It allows the user to do obvious things like moving the cursor, but the user can also enter a message by writing letters in the air.
The device is operated using a “surface electromyography” (a noninvasive way to track the electrical activity of muscles).
“Based on our findings, we believe that the surface electromyography (SEMG) of the wrist is key to unlocking the next paradigm shift in human computer interaction (HCI),” the company said in a blog post.
Meta-researchers have also published research papers on the device nature The Science Journal explains the new technology in slightly complex terms – “Here we describe the development of a universal non-invasive neural motor interface capable of computer input decoded from surface electromyography (SEMG).”

According to meta-researchers, this breakthrough is largely possible due to machine learning and AI.
“Our neural networks are trained in data from thousands of consent research participants, which makes them very accurate in decoding subtle gestures of a wide variety of people,” the Meta blog post says.
In fact, Meta says the process is so effective that the device can even recognize yours intention To perform a gesture, this allows you to control the device simply by thinking. As Thomas Reardon, one of the authors of the meta-research paper, told New York Times“You don’t have to actually move…you just want to plan to take action.”
Wrist devices can make computers more susceptible to people who are challenged by mobility. That’s because the device seems to be much less invasive than a Neuralink, because Meta’s devices don’t need to be implanted directly into the brain.
Of course, Meta’s blog posts don’t provide a name, price, or release date for the device. In the near future, this seems to be much more experimental than what is intended for mass market adoption. We will notify you in time if this change is made.
