Facebook unveils wristband for augmented reality system

Hardware reveal is next step in social media group’s race to take on Apple in virtual world

Facebook has unveiled its vision for a wristband that will control its forthcoming augmented-reality glasses, marking the latest step in the social media company’s efforts to take on Apple in the next generation of computing.

The band, which can interpret complex hand movements via sensors that pick up electrical motor nerve signals in the wrist, will allow wearers to interact with the virtual world projected through their glasses with subtle finger movements, or “intelligent clicks”, it said.

In the longer term, Facebook hopes the technology will allow wearers to move or manipulate the virtual objects that appear overlaid on the real world, for instance typing on a virtual keyboard.
