A year ago and test-drove Meta’s Concept AR glasses, Called project OrionIn the room on the campus in Menlo Park, California. They turned on 3D displays and wireless processor, but what there was a futuristic neural hand belt that I was wearing to control them.
Metaino Research in EMG – electromyographyor sensates muscle impulses through electrical signals using load-bearing sensors – becomes reality. I expect the target to let this neural band in addition to the new pair of glasses with built-in displays, Code called Hypernovaon its Meta Connect Conference 17. September. I’ll be there, so be covered for all the news.
The target has Many other improvements that needs to be made on his smart glasses (and vr, too), despite how good it is Meta Rai-Bans they already gained. But the EMG band may be the immediate debut, it is one of the largest shifts in methane fear for wearing in years.
That means people could wear it soon. And what will it be exactly possible with technologies over time? We’ll find out.

The door for neural technique opens
EMG bands are what the target whole Mark Zuckerberg considers a The whole new future paradigm For interfaces. Instead of tracking or camera-based regulators, these bands can register gestural moves like fingers, taps, burger, and may even grab time.
When I tried the band last year, I managed to do various small gestures to move, choose things and navigating. Meta Chief Scientist for Research Laboratory Realization, Michael Abrash, told me about the possibilities for his neural entros of techniques over the years, which was acquired via CNTRL-Laboratory 2019. years.
With my Orion demo, I also used my eyes. The eye and joint tracking gestures are combined to navigate the interface. Experience was similar to what can be done in a larger Apple Vision ProBut with EMG band, gestures can be done even when no glasses or headphones are seen, because it works independently.
The following target glasses may not have eyes monitoring, which means that the EMG range will not necessarily feel necessary as immediately reacting as well as my experiences that give up a look a year ago. We’ll see.
The EMG scope is not likely to be cheap. It is expected to come package with glasses to show targets, which costs at least $ 800.
EMG Band on my wrist while I tried my thumb a year ago. Will the band be left without a screen or become an hour or both?
It could be fitness clocks. And how much will it cost?
The target could go further with this technique that feels muscles. The reports suggest that the target could make their own smartness that could help find fitness and health in VR and AR and that hour could also have EMG on board. Meta’s load-bearing head, Alex Himel, He hinted at me already That news of the fitness will soon arrive.
It would also make sense to let the meta allow these bands to work with as many glasses as possible and supreme headphones, but that may not happen. Meta’s CTO Andrew Bosworth told me 2024. years The joint would not be as needed with glasses without display, including existing predictions of the target of air, because there would be no need to navigate interfaces. The target could see that voice commands are still ways to show the glasses.
EMG bands would also be a foot at the door to develop technology in front of the targets moving in the AR glasses and is allegedly smaller VR Vitor that comes in the future. And the target should continue to advance this gestural technician as soon as possible, especially with competition options that have already been created.
Apple already has some Gestural functions on Apple WatchAnd it is expected to have air copies with infrared cameras to set the hand gestures next year. Other companies are trying to unlock gestures through cameras in glasses or by connected rings or existing smartwatches.
Google’s glasses are allowed only one of several competing options that occur at the same time.
Also expect more evolution of glasses
There are a lot of other practical improvements I want to see with Meta Connect. Me You agree with my badet colleague Jason Hiner That the better life of the battery, improved camera quality, multiple AI functions and general improved reliability and services are important for glasses on the following genes of target.
Meta should also press boundaries on their smart glasses with built-in display this time, to compete with specifications enabled display Google, Samsung, Amazon, SnapTcl i Many others expected in the next or two.
That hand belt, however, is something no other company showed me earlier. By my eye seems to be the most fascinating smart glass wild ticket of all.
