the wristband reminds me of the Myo armband, this thing you could wear to control a computer

did meta buy them out?

[dmarcos]

Yes, they did

I had the first myoband sdk and didn’t work for me. I imagine tech is much improved now

Thalmic (makers of Myo, later renamed to North) was acq. by Google actually.

Ctrl-labs bought Myo band IP from North (formerly Thalmic)

And funnily enough they were working on smart glasses when they were acquired by Google

Context: I was part of this acquisition, but am no longer at Meta.

If the wristband works well, it'd be a very convenient gadget to wear if it can integrate with a bunch of devices like smart-lights, phones, tv etc...
