Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Genuine peer-reviewed breakthrough (Nature, generic cross-user sEMG) and a shipping consumer product with open data + code, but input bandwidth is still low and the device is gated behind one Meta bundle with no open developer surface yet.
Next
Monitor for a standalone SDK / third-party device access and broader rollout of the surface-typing handwriting mode beyond US early-access; re-evaluate when decoding bandwidth and an open API are independently benchmarked.
