We’ve said we want AR glasses to be truly useful—we’re investing in technologies across the board that will make that interaction feel more natural and intuitive. This includes research like EMG, haptics, adaptive interfaces that could come together in a wrist-based form factor. https://t.co/SMDp1mLTZ9

The camera at the front of the watch is mainly for video calls, but the 1080p auto-focus camera can be used to capture footage when the rear camera of the watch is detached. The Verge report also states that the watch will have a stainless frame.
The Verge reported that Facebook is in contact with other companies to create accessories to attach a camera hub to objects such as backpacks, referring to two people who are aware of the project. The report also called Facebook Idea to encourage watch users to use it like a smartphone. It is also understood that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is part of a plan to build more consumer devices that will find a way between Apple and Google.
Likewise, it is reported that Facebook is working with top wireless carriers in the US to support LTE connectivity on the watch. This means that the smartwatch does not need to be paired with a smartphone to work. The Verge reports that Facebook is looking to serve as a key input device for its planned AR glasses in the future version of the watch, which will come in white, black and gold.
The CTRL start-up company showed that the armbands are capable of controlling the computer through wrist movements. Facebook plans to use technology acquired from these CTRL labs.
Facebook aims to introduce the smartwatch by the summer of 2022. The company already plans to release the 2nd and 3rd generation versions of this smartwatch in the coming years, and currently the smartphone is priced at $ 400, which is around Rs 29,000. The report said.
Facebook was suddenly inclined to make a smartwatch. This is nothing new. For some years, Facebook has been interested in making a smartwatch. It also includes information about health and messaging features.
