The live demo of this is brutal. https://x.com/ns123abc/status/1968469616545452055
I think there’s some respect to give cause they’re doing it live and non-scripted.

It was hard to see, but it looked like handwriting to me.
For marketing reasons, it needs to be something that people can pick up with absolutely minimal practice. I doubt it has enough accuracy for a virtual keyboards (since keyboards require precise absolute input and it measures relative), besides, most people aren't experienced with single-hand typing. A bespoke gesture based shorthand would be optimal, but then users would need to spend months learning this new shortha…

CTRL-Labs themselves acquired the wristband tech from North/Thalmic, who pivoted into smart glasses for a few years before being acquired by Google. > In an interesting twist, CTRL-Labs purchased a series of patents earlier this year around the Myo armband, a gesture and motion control device developed by North, formerly known as Thalmic Labs. The Myo armband measured electromyography, or EEG, to translate muscle act…
nope. the technology was invented by CTRL-labs, and at Meta after the acquisition. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09255-w yes the Myo was a similar, earlier, and less capable technology also based on EMG sensing.

If you watch it carefully, he preempts the AI with "What do I do first" before it even answered the first time. This strongly suggests it did this in rehearsal to me and hence was far more than just "bad luck" or bad connectivity. Perhaps the bad connectivity stopped the override from working and it just kept repeating the previous response. Either way it suggests some troubling early implications about how well Meta…
> Either way it suggests some troubling early implications about how well Meta's AI work is going I fully expect the AI to suck initially and then over many months of updates evolve to mostly annoying and only occasionally mildly useful. However, the live stage demo failing isn't necessarily supporting evidence. Live stage demos involving Wifi are just hard because in addition to the normal device functionality they'…

While I agree this is extremely impressive, when I'm out walking, I'm not going to be looking for a convenient flat surface I can rest my hand on so I can type a message. It seems useless in practice.
That's not a limitation - it works in the air, on your leg, other hand, etc.

OP is taking videos of his baby with these when Meta's page here doesn't event mention data privacy or security of the user's information or how it protects them
All babies look the same, out of anything private you could film by mistake, a baby seems pretty harmless.

I think you're very much in the minority. Also, VR games didn't really evolve because it can't really evolve - the fundamental thing that makes it attractive (immersion in a digital space) can't work well because of motion sickness. So, the only way to make an immersive VR game is to have an extremely tiny game world or an on-rails experience, and that drastically reduces the appeal. Of course, you could make all sor…
This is such nonsense. The new Batman game on VR has full motion and smooth turning. It's not on rails at all. Games have got better at reducing motion sickness, and players also adapt over time.
>Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are designed to help you look up and stay present. With a quick glance at the in-lens display, you can accomplish everyday tasks—like checking messages, previewing photos, and collaborating with visual Meta AI prompts Can you imagine trying to talk to someone face to face, but they are giving you a blank stare as random notifications and tiktok videos are being beamed inbetween their eye…
