Garmin showcased its Unified Cabin concept at CES 2026, featuring a prototype in‑vehicle system that integrates Meta’s Neural Band for gesture control of the car’s display. The wrist‑worn band detects finger movements via electrical signals and provides subtle haptic feedback, allowing users to swipe, pinch and navigate Android Auto without touching the screen. The concept also demonstrates ultra‑wideband (UWB) digital key positioning to personalize lighting and seat settings as occupants approach. While still a demo, the collaboration hints at future standalone wearables that could serve as smart car keys and primary input devices.
