The Meta Neural Band is a novel input device that translates electrical signals from your wrists into gesture controls and handwriting for Meta Ray-Ban Display. Unlike computer vision models, it's discreet and usable from any arm position, even in your pocket.

I led the Inputs / Outputs team (35 designers), who designed the band hardware and light interactions, the interaction model and gesture system, and artwork for onboarding and user education.

EMG is a novel input, so the challenge was making a simple gesture system that is comfortable, memorable, and intuitive while overcoming technical hurdles and conflicting interaction models.

The Meta Neural Band launched to critical and public success at Connect 2025 with the Meta Ray-Ban Display. It was named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2025.
