the wristband reminds me of the Myo armband, this thing you could wear to control a computer did meta buy them out?

  Yes, they did https://www.roadtovr.com/facebook-acquires-ctrl-labs-develop-wrist-worn-input-device/amp/ https://www.roadtovr.com/facebook-acquires-ctrl-labs-develop... I had the first myoband sdk and didn’t work for me. I imagine tech is much improved now

  If the wristband works well, it'd be a very convenient gadget to wear if it can integrate with a bunch of devices like smart-lights, phones, tv etc...
