Meta's Wrist-Based sEMG: Mind-Controlled VR is Closer Than You Think
2025-01-10
Meta's Quest blog announced a groundbreaking new technology: a wrist-based surface electromyography (sEMG) wearable that lets users control their Meta Quest VR headset solely through wrist muscle movements. The device uses advanced sensors to detect subtle muscle activity, translating it into digital signals for precise VR control. This promises a revolutionary leap in VR interaction, offering a more natural and intuitive experience and potentially providing more accessible VR for individuals with disabilities. While still under development, the technology hints at a significant shift in future human-computer interaction.
