In development for the last several years, the surface electromyography research device, or sEMG-RD, has now been featured in a paper published to Nature. In the paper, titled ‘A generic non-invasive neuromotor interface for human-computer interaction,’ Meta’s Reality Labs team breaks down how the sEMG-RD works. Essentially, the bracelet’s sensors can track nerve signals that run through the wrist, translating them into commands for a connected device. This includes allowing users to navigate an interface, control a cursor, type, and much more. The team says that this technology has much more to offer, and that further development will yield more concise control and additional applications.
