Zuckerberg says brain signal-reading wearable is 'kind of close' to product-ready
Zuckerberg's EMG device will interpret your brain signals to turn subtle finger gestures into controls for your VR headset or smart glasses.
Appearing on the Morning Brew Daily podcast last Friday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that his company's futuristic neural interface band — which interprets your brain's signals to the muscles in your hand — is "close" to being "in a product in the next few years." Essentially, the EMG concept addresses the fact that most people perform gestures erratically — which leads to false results for camera-based tracking — but the brain signals are the same, so the "neural interface continuously gets better over time at understanding each person." The challenge will be proving that this technology can go beyond simple left-right swipes, as shown in the video above, and progress to the point of actually typing and interacting in mid-air with just your hands, Minority Report-style.
