"It's actually where all your human skill resides, it's how you do adaptive tasks in the world. Your brain has more neurons dedicated to controlling your wrist and your hand than any other of your body," said TR Reardon via New Atlas.
"You have a huge reservoir of untapped talent of motor talents that you barely use when you actually interact with the machine today," he added.
Other features of the new AR gadget
Aside from its ultra-nerve-sensitive capability, it also offers what Facebook calls intelligent click. This feature allows the users to click on a menu by softly moving their fingers.
On the other hand, the upcoming Facebook AR wrist controller's interface could also adapt based on contextual information, as stated by Yahoo Finance. This includes queuing a playlist when you are going for a jog or any kind of exercise.
