While an implanted system with AI may be a future concept, new HCI technology is needed here and now.
In March, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg went on a podcast to talk about the future of augmented and virtual reality. In his discussion, he explained that he wanted to see Facebook manufacture its own hardware and thought that the platforms would be the next big thing in tech. Furthermore, he explained that interacting with AR VR worlds would require neural interfaces for human-computer interaction. Now, Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) Research is showing off technology in that vein. While an implanted system with AI may be a future concept, new HCI technology is needed. FRL has found something more realistic: a wrist-worn neural interface that could control an AR/VR system.
