Such technologies will one day allow users to navigate through a menu or even typing using only their thoughts.

The head of Facebook says that the device is similar to a bathing cap stuffed with electrodes. Such electrodes are able to optimize the interface for a wide spectrum of augmented reality: projection information in the image in the glasses of augmented reality to print the “power of thought” is absent in reality the keyboard.
