Innovative technology lets you control computers with a gesture

Meta researchers have developed a non-invasive neuromotor interface that enables people to control computers using faint muscle and nerve signals. Their gesture-controlled wristband can interpret these signals to perform tasks such as moving a cursor, opening apps, or sending messages. Aimed at giving individuals with motor disabilities a less invasive way to interact with technology, the wristband represents a simpler alternative to efforts like Neuralink, which focuses on implanting brain chips in people with severe paralysis. This innovation could make human–computer interaction more natural, accessible, and intuitive.
