The first edition of Meta’s AR glasses will be available solely to developers

In addition to not selling its first pair of standalone AR glasses, Meta decided last week to scrap its planned smartwatch with two cameras, owing to the difficulty of implementing EMG technology for controlling the upcoming AR glasses with brain signals due to its detachable display design. Meta believes that having the first device with EMG technology is important for managing its intended suite of glasses, and it has shifted its efforts entirely to a design that supports EMG on the wrist.
