The device had been in development for at least two years, and was designed to include several features in common with other smartwatches

Facebook parent company Meta Platforms has halted development of a smartwatch with dual cameras and is instead working on other devices for the wrist, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

Meta has touted the benefits of electromyography as a way of using a person’s hands as a “controller” for other devices, including those geared towards the metaverse. “This is about decoding those signals at the wrist — the actions you’ve already decided to perform — and translating them into digital commands for your device,” a blog post from Meta published earlier in 2022 said.

This week, Meta also told employees that it would not be selling a version of its artificial reality glasses that have been in development for three years, the person said. The company has shifted focus to a later version of those AR glasses, with plans for an eventual commercial release. The information previously reported details of changes to Meta’s glasses strategy.
