Facebook Bets Big on Human Brains Controlling Computers
Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) recently announced its acquisition of CTRL-labs, a New York-based start-up that is developing a technology to allow people to control computers with their brains. The envisioned technology will enable a wristband to intercept electrical signals between a user's spinal cord and hand to control digital devices.
Facebook will integrate CTRL-labs into Facebook Reality Labs, which houses the development of its augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) projects. In a Facebook post announcing the deal, its AR/VR chief Andrew Bosworth declared that CTRL-labs' technology represents "how our interactions in VR and AR can one day look."
