Facebook to Buy Brain Science Startup CTRL-labs, Deal Said to Be Worth $1 Billion
6:46:35 2019-09-25 1366

Facebook said on Monday it bought New York-based CTRL-labs, a start-up that is exploring ways for people to communicate with computers using brain signals, in a deal that CNBC said was valued at $1 billion (roughly Rs. 7,100 crores).

 

Facebook Vice President of AR/VR Andrew Bosworth announced the deal in a Facebook post.

 

CTRL-labs will join Facebook Reality Labs team, Bosworth said, without giving any financial details.

 

Facebook said it intends to use the neural interface technology of CTRL-labs in developing a wristband that connects to other devices intuitively.

 

"The vision for this work is a wristband that lets people control their devices as a natural extension of movement,” Bosworth said.

 

"We hope to build this kind of technology, at scale, and get it into consumer products faster," he added.

 

Media reports said CTRL-labs is working with brain science and machine learning to create interfaces for people to control and manipulate computers by thinking. Its development-stage wrist-worn device uses sensors to track gestures and would act as an input device.

 

The deal is valued at about $1 billion, CNBC reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.

 

Facebook was not immediately available for comment on the deal value.
