Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms Inc. (FB.O), teased a new smart glasses project with EssilorLuxottica (ESLX.PA) on Wednesday, posting a photo of the eyewear company’s chairman wearing a prototype of a neural interface wristband – designed to control other devices.
“Here, Leonardo is wearing a prototype of our neural interface EMG [electromyography] bracelet that will ultimately allow you operate your glasses and other gadgets,” Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post, referring to EssilorLuxottica Chairman Leonardo Del Vecchio. He ended his post with a sunglasses-wearing smiley face emoji.
In a blog post last year, Facebook – which changed its name to Meta Platforms in October – stated it wanted to develop a wristband to operate augmented reality glasses, allowing users to engage with a virtual world via finger gestures.
According to Zuckerberg, he was in Milan to talk with an eyewear business about new smart glasses.
