Facebook researchers are rapidly learning how to replace mouse clicks and screen taps with finger twitches. They're doing it by putting a band on your wrist that reads nerve impulses sent by your brain to your hand. https://t.co/4D3Yj09PGW

Facebook reaveil their Wrist Band which can reads nerve impulses sent by your brain to your hand. #Facebook

Facebook is working on a new neural interface wrist device to go along with its AR glasses – it reads the signals sent from your brain to your hand. https://t.co/GyO3cif1NU

Stuff like this used to make me worried. Now it just makes me sad for the engineers that this (possibly genuinely useful!) tech will likely never see the light of day because FB's privacy track record is so horrible. https://t.co/X3Z78WmcGd

Here’s some mind-blowing technology being developed by @boztank and his team for our AR glasses: wrist-based sensors that let you control devices using the same electrical motor nerve signals you use to move your handshttps://t.co/UsVsGA7tm6 pic.twitter.com/T6xZzfoEdM

Great work @boztank and the @oculus team! The tech is super impressive, can't wait to see it in action. We all know what happens to that data is the elephant in the room. How about an open pledge/policy on the Facebook site? Something like, say: https://t.co/7ARkgODEAX https://t.co/XC44sHgtLr

I am keeping an open mind! But it does strike me as tech that would be much more likely to be commercially successful if it came from a trusted entity.

— Kevin Roose (@kevinroose) March 18, 2021

ElOhEl, the efficiency and utility of AR gadgetry will be inversely correlated with the number, cost and bulkiness of sensors you'd have to wear or carry. https://t.co/bgKdOi40WB

This technology has amazing potential, especially in making devices more accessible. I'm pretty excited about the idea of a full sized keyboard anywhere I go... pic.twitter.com/JRCMjTqPNw

This research, along with VR, AR, and a bunch of new technologies, is both incredibly interesting and also entirely too powerful for anyone to be comfortable with FACEBOOK leading the charge on it https://t.co/qJK2WTZ4wp

AR glasses will enable us to be present and connected—how we communicate with this new device will be critical. Building this interface demands advances from numerous technological areas and I’m proud of our research teams and the progress we’ve made: https://t.co/6ztS7bYQCw https://t.co/SJgViVJt5e

It’s an act of faith to wear any computing device on your body. Should we trust a wearable from @Facebook that reads certain signals from your brain? Fascinating piece by @LaurenGoode explains Facebook’s wearable project and raises the question. https://t.co/AiLNvmBMVi

Facebook wants to develop new human-computer interactions. Will we be able to trust it with a new form of personal data? That's one of the things I asked @boztank https://t.co/qb5lfQ6qaS

Facebook is developing a wristband that'll allow wearers to interact with the virtual world as seen through smart glasses with subtle finger movements - or "intelligent clicks"

Facebook revealed a plan to let you control augmented reality with your thoughts.

It’s wristband that can react to nerve signals.

Cool, but nobody is ever going to use this tech as long as it’s associated with Facebook. They’ve squandered too much trusthttps://t.co/k1EPw8DYLJ

— Geoffrey A. Fowler (@geoffreyfowler) March 18, 2021

Facebook is focused on "building an interface for AR that won’t force us to choose between interacting with our devices and the world around us."

But why are they focusing on the wrist?pic.twitter.com/aVlYY37euj

— Product Hunt ? (@ProductHunt) March 18, 2021

Why the wrist? "...As we explored the possibilities, placing an input device at the wrist became the clear answer: The wrist is a traditional place to wear a watch, meaning it could reasonably fit into everyday life and social contexts..." https://t.co/9W8yI3ioEK
