Wearable Devices Unveils New Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface for its Mudra Band for Apple Watch


The integration allows users to harness both voice commands and gestures to control digital devices without the need for physical touch

YOKNEAM ILLIT, ISRAEL, Oct. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wearable Devices”) (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) powered touchless sensing wearables, announced today the integration of a new gesture and voice controlled interface for its Mudra Band for Apple Watch and AirTouch technology that leverages Apple’s AI-based digital assistant, Siri.

The new integration provides users with an enhanced interactive experience, enabling them to use a combination of voice commands and natural gestures and movements to control devices, without the need for physical touch. The combination of voice assistance and AirTouch technology allows users to switch between devices using voice, then utilize AirTouch gesture detection capabilities to navigate and fine tune preferences such as volume, brightness, and more.

Guy Wagner, Chief Scientist Officer and Co-Founder of Wearable Devices, commented, “With natural human communication being a combination of speech and gestures, an interface that utilizes both voice and gesture recognition as an input method is an essential integration for our technology. To date, we’ve been able to develop a revolutionary product that allows for natural and touchless interaction with connected devices using AI-powered sensors to interpret subtle finger and hand movements. With the integration of speech, we are greatly expanding the scope and capabilities of our technology by adding an entirely new input method that leverages the virtual assistant AI technology found in many of our connected devices, making our products, and other connected products, more intuitive and easier to use than ever before.”
