Facebook Unveils Augmented Reality Wristband
Many Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) investors and users don't realize that the company devotes considerable resources to developing next-generation human-computer interface (HCI) technology. Perhaps that's about to change: On Thursday, the social media giant (and somewhat under-the-radar hardware developer) took the wraps off a wristband that will be a component of an augmented reality (AR) system.
AR combines computer-generated elements with aspects of the real world; while still in a relatively early stage, it nevertheless is used in a variety of applications, such as games.
