How to use Meta Neural Band
Meta Neural Band lets you control Meta Ray-Ban Display by making gestures with your hand. The band works by interpreting the signals created by your muscle activity when you make certain gestures.
Here are the different parts of Meta Neural Band:
- Button
- Sensors
- Compute module
- LED
- Line
- The line is a reference point that helps you wear the band correctly. The line should face you.
How to turn Meta Neural band on or off
- To turn on Meta Neural Band, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds until the LED slowly flashes white and the band vibrates.
- To turn off, press and hold the button for 8 seconds, and release when the LED goes dark and the band vibrates.
Before you can start using Meta Neural Band
To use Meta Neural Band, you first need to pair Meta Ray-Ban Display and Meta Neural Band with the Meta AI mobile app using a supported smart phone. You can download the Meta AI mobile app from the App Store or Google Play and log in with your Meta Horizon profile.
Here's what you need to use Meta Neural Band:
- Meta Ray-Ban Display
- Supported smart phone (Android 10 and above with location services enabled or iOS 14.4 and above)
- A valid Meta Account
- Meta AI mobile app
- Wireless internet access
- You can still control your Meta Ray-Ban Display with Meta Neural Band without Wi-Fi, but you'll need Wi-Fi for Meta AI, to import your captures and to install updates.
How to wear Meta Neural Band
The fit of Meta Neural Band is different from other wristbands and watches. In order to function properly, it’s important that you wear the band correctly:
- Wear on the hand you write with
- The line on the band faces you
- Just past your wrist bone
- Band secured snug and comfortably with the clasp closed
- The compute module is on top of your wrist
When you wear your band correctly, you can perform gestures with your hand resting by your side or on your lap. You do not need to hold your arm out to have the band interpret your gestures.
If you’re having trouble getting gestures to work with your band, check to make sure you’re wearing the band correctly and that it’s the right size.
