Could you build this?
No Controlling macOS via Meta's neural wristband requires hardware-level reverse engineering of proprietary Bluetooth sEMG streams and digital signal processing.
What it would actually take: The software requires a native Swift/C++ macOS driver interacting with IOKit and CoreBluetooth. The critical hurdles are reverse-engineering undocumented Bluetooth GATT characteristics on the band, real-time filtering and feature extraction from raw surface electromyography (sEMG) sensor data, and translating continuous neuromuscular inputs into macOS mouse/gesture events without official SDKs or documentation.
