Meta researchers have developed a wristband that uses muscle signals from your wrist to translate hand gestures into digital commands, enabling users to control devices, move cursors, and even write in the air.

The device, called sEMG-RD, detects electrical signals from motor nerves and converts them into actions without needing individual calibration.

It can recognize gestures like finger pinches and thumb swipes, and transcribe handwriting at 20.9 words per minute, New Atlas has reported.

Aimed at improving accessibility and enhancing human-computer interaction, the tech could unlock new, effortless ways to control gadgets—especially for those with limited mobility.
