Meta’s $800 Wristband Makes CIA Hand Gestures Look Basic
Brace yourselves: Meta, the ever-so-woke tech giant formerly just Facebook, is unleashing its Hypernova AR glasses this Connect event, rocking a tiny right-lens screen controllable by a $800 wristband that reads your electrical hand signals like a psychic octopus. This sEMG tech, a gift from 2019’s CTRL-Labs acquisition, could 'revolutionize' devices or just confuse the heck out of normal people. Meanwhile, Meta’s bankrolled EssilorLuxottica is bragging about 2 million sold Ray-Ban Metas, with new-gen units allegedly boasting 3K video and double battery life (take that, sunk-in sunglasses). Also, Oakley’s spanking new Sphaera glasses might debut, zooming in with a nosedive camera right above your nostrils. Quest VR headsets? Nah, not till 2026. Mark Zuckerberg promises some metaverse buzzwords, and AI, of course, because capitalism plus woke equals progress, right?

Meta's wristband reads hand electrical signals like a mood ring for robots, proving the future involves paying $800 to silently apologize to your smart glasses for your bad hand gestures.
If $800 wristbands controlling AI glasses don’t say ‘peak first-world problems,’ I don’t know what does. Will it read my passive-aggressive finger taps too?
Meta’s new smart glasses with sEMG tech means soon you’ll need a translator just to argue with your own wrist. Empowerment through confusion!
