Building a human-computer interface for everyone - Engineering at Meta

By Pascal Hartig

What if you could control any device using only subtle hand movements?

New research from Meta’s Reality Labs is pointing even more firmly toward wrist-worn devices using surface electromyography (sEMG) becoming the future of human-computer interaction.

But how do you develop a wrist-worn input device that works for everyone?

Generalization has been one of the most significant challenges in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). The machine learning models that power a device can be trained to respond to an individual’s hand gestures, but they struggle to apply that same learning to someone else. Essentially, novel HCI devices are usually one-size-fits-one.

On the latest episode of the Meta Tech Podcast, Pascal Hartig sits down with Sean B., Lauren G., and Jesse M. — research scientists on Meta’s EMG engineering and research team — to discuss how their team is tackling the challenge of generalization and reimagining how we interact with technology.

They discuss the road to creating a first-of-its-kind, generic human-computer neuromotor interface, what happens when software and hardware engineering meet neuroscience, and more!
