gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-01-05 14:54:55

Meta is back to teasing its futuristic body-reading wristband, and this time around, it’s getting a little more specific with what the wearable can do. In short? It looks like all that high-level research is paying off. Meta published a new research paper in the journal Nature, showcasing progress on its sEMG-RD wearable, a device that was most recently shown at its Connect conference in 2024.

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-02 03:02:37
