*NEW* @ForbesTech @FBRealityLabs gave the tech press an exclusive look at their research #AR https://t.co/dNnohIHT2g

its goal is a “human centered interface,” which will use preferences and surroundings to infer intent, creating an “ultra low friction” computing experience.

Those findings echo Microsoft’s 2016 estimates that 162.8 million Americans are not using the internet at broadband speeds compared to the FCC’s count of 24.7 million.
