Meta abandons Apple Watch-style connected watch project

In recent months, many leaks have emerged suggesting that Meta (e-Facebook) is developing a connected watch similar to the Apple Watch in great secrecy. Originally expected by the end of the year, the Android smartwatch is expected to allow you to send messages via Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp or Instagram.

Small specification, connected watch includes: two cameras. Although the project has not been officially announced, our colleagues at Bloomberg published stolen photos of the accessory and information on the technical page. Media states that the project was recently canceled by Meta.

Meta is abandoning its linked clock designed for the metadatabase

As Bloomberg points out, thisa prototype of the hour. As seen in the photos, the camera is located under the screen and the other is behind the user’s wrist. On the front, the Meta relies on a 5-megapixel sensor. There is a 12 megapixel module on the back.

The rear camera is designed to save photos quickly. To use it, users need to separate the case from the bracelet. The clock then changes to: small camera. We may wonder why a user would prefer to spend his time taking out his watch instead of taking his smartphone out of his pocket.

This is the second sensor “It caused problems with another feature that aims to convert nerve signals from the wrist into digital commands.”. Thanks to this option, which seems to be a priority for Meta, it is possible to control the accessories intuitively by waving your hand. “It’s about decoding the signals on your wrist (the actions you’ve already decided to perform) and translating them into digital commands for your device.”He explains the meta in a post on his blog a few months ago.

Unsurprisingly Meta’s watch made for metadata array. It was supposed to make it possible to control vehicles for virtual or augmented reality. The smartwatch appears to be designed to accompany the group’s future connected glasses for augmented reality, which are not planned to be released before 2024. The engineers responsible for developing the watch were diverted to other projects, including: “several other wrist-worn devices”.
