Exactly, felt like the wristband was the big thing. I don't want the glasses, but I'm somewhat curious if it'd be useful as an extra input device when using a computer.
- sigmar 1y agothey've been bragging about how good that neural wristband is for years. It's strange they haven't ventured to make a smartwatch with it. Maybe because Zuck has been so focused on AR/VR
- swordsmith 1y agoOne device at a time!
- evanjrowley 1y agoThe vision here is much more ambitious than a smart watch, and it probably helps them to introduce it as something that doesn't compete with the Apple Watch / Google Pixel Watch / Samsung Galaxy Watch. The neural wristband is meant to go on the right wrist, so potentially it could complement a more traditional smart watch, or pair with some future Meta smart watch.
- MangoToupe 1y agoI'd buy it if I could use it as a dumb bluetooth keyboard. As it stands he's ambitious for a vision that has no use in my life—I'm generally trying to escape digital interaction, not constantly immerse myself in it.
- fl7305 1y agoIt'd be interesting to try it as a regular keyboard too. Probably a bit too imprecise even for skilled users, but who knows. And if you really get into them, maybe it's worth spending the time to learn chords instead, like for a court stenographer?
- refulgentis 1y agoI worked at Google on watches some distant time ago, these floated around. IMHO the tell on why there's a delay is the original comment expressing wonderment at Zuckerberg demonstrating 30 WPM. i.e. it sucks. It's nice technology, engineering, glad they had the courage, sure its useful for its purpose. However, in practice, humans being humans, the odds I regularly put on a glove, to get 30 WPM, on my glasses computer...very low. (also, looking back at the original comment...neural interface? wtf? It's not neural...)
- spot 1y agoyes and even more useful with a phone. or a TV so I don't have to find the remote. lots of possibilities beyond glasses.
