Facebook Buys CTRL-labs for Neural Interfacing Tech
Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) had grand ambitions when it put together a secretive hardware division called Building 8 back in 2016. That actually might be an understatement. Some of the ideas were straight out of science fiction: Facebook dreamed of developing technology that could let people hear through their skin and type with their minds. Fast-forward three years, and all that has come out of Building 8 so far are underwhelming video calling devices that are potential privacy scandals waiting to explode.
Well, Facebook just made a step toward making one of those sci-fi notions into reality.
Today we're thrilled to share that Facebook has agreed to acquire CTRL-labs. Our team is excited to join @boztank and his group Facebook Reality Labs to empower people with non-invasive neural interfaces at scale. https://t.co/b5w8ks62Sj
