Snap Acquires NextBand: Boosting Neurotech Capabilitie

Snap has announced the acquisition of the Paris-based neurotechnology company NextMind. Following the acquisition, NextMind has become a part of Snap Lab, which focuses on long-term augmented reality (AR) research.

It’s worth noting that NextMind will continue its operations in Paris. The technology developed by NextMind monitors neural activity to understand user intent while interacting with a computing interface, enabling actions such as pressing a virtual button through focus alone.

This technology has the potential to facilitate hands-free management of AR/VR headsets.

With Snap Lab’s focus on products like Spectacles, the acquisition of NextMind may play a significant role in the development of new-generation glasses or headgear.
