Meta Connect 2024 takes place later this month and we're in for a treat if the latest AR and VR rumors surrounding what's in store for us hold true. However, while a new Meta Quest 3s VR headset or a glimpse at the company's long-term Orion AR smart glasses goals might be the first things that spring to mind, the most impactful reveal at Meta's showcase could be something else entirely: Neural wristbands.
Wristbands might not sound exciting, but Meta's high-tech straps could have an incredible impact on how we use our daily tech. While their primary purpose is said to offer a discrete and accurate way of tracking hand gesture inputs for future smart glasses, they also have the wider potential to completely upturn how we interact with our favorite devices — to the extent that it could spell the end for physical controllers, mice, and keyboards as we know them.
