Exactly, felt like the wristband was the big thing. I don't want the glasses, but I'm somewhat curious if it'd be useful as an extra input device when using a computer.

they've been bragging about how good that neural wristband is for years. It's strange they haven't ventured to make a smartwatch with it. Maybe because Zuck has been so focused on AR/VR

The vision here is much more ambitious than a smart watch, and it probably helps them to introduce it as something that doesn't compete with the Apple Watch / Google Pixel Watch / Samsung Galaxy Watch. The neural wristband is meant to go on the right wrist, so potentially it could complement a more traditional smart watch, or pair with some future Meta smart watch.

I worked at Google on watches some distant time ago, these floated around.

IMHO the tell on why there's a delay is the original comment expressing wonderment at Zuckerberg demonstrating 30 WPM.

i.e. it sucks.

It's nice technology, engineering, glad they had the courage, sure its useful for its purpose.

However, in practice, humans being humans, the odds I regularly put on a glove, to get 30 WPM, on my glasses computer...very low.

(also, looking back at the original comment...neural interface? wtf? It's not neural...)

yes and even more useful with a phone. or a TV so I don't have to find the remote. lots of possibilities beyond glasses.
