Facebook Reveals Wrist-Worn Prototypes for XR

Check out the latest wrist-based prototype for XR by Facebook Reality Labs Research.

Facebook revealed some of its latest research and vision for a wrist-worn input device that the company expects to form the basis of AR and VR interactions and haptics in the future. The device, still in a research prototype phase, senses electrical signals in the user’s arm to detect intentional inputs. In addition to functioning as a simple ‘button’ input, the company says the device can even enable accurate, keyboard-less typing, and more.

In a media briefing, researchers from Facebook Reality Labs Research shared some of their latest work in developing new input technology which the team believes will form the foundation of interactions for XR devices of the future. The group shared a concept video of what it believes will be possible with the technology.
