Meta has developed a wristband that picks up muscle twitches to command computers in real-time. This device streams muscle signals via Bluetooth and decodes them instantly into commands. Historically, user interfaces like keyboards and touchscreens require physical contact, while gesture capture often relies on intrusive methods. The new wristband, however, successfully recognizes gestures without personalized calibration or invasive systems. Demonstrations showcase its ability to control cursors, select commands, and recognize handwriting gestures. Although handwriting recognition is slower than typing, the application of surface electromyography recording demonstrates a non-intrusive alternative for user interaction.
The researchers at Meta have developed a wristband that detects muscle twitches to create real-time computer commands, eliminating the need for cameras or implants.
The device can interpret hand gestures such as handwriting and pinch movements, streaming muscle signals wirelessly and decoding them into computer commands.
The history of user interfaces includes keyboards, mice, and touchscreens, which require contact and can be inconvenient for mobility.
The new system captures and decodes hand movements without the necessity for personalized calibration or invasive procedures, making it less intrusive.
