The Mudra Link was showcased at CES® 2025 and recognized with an Innovation Awards in the XR Technologies & Accessories category

Yokneam Illit, Israel, Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wearable Devices”) (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW), an award-winning pioneer in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-based wearable gesture control technology, announced the general availability of its Mudra® Link, the first neural wristband for Android, macOS and Windows devices. The Mudra Link was showcased at CES 2025 and recognized with an Innovation Awards in the XR Technologies & Accessories category.

Together with the Company’s Mudra Band for Apple devices, itself a CES® Best of Innovation award-winner, the Mudra Link represents a new era of touchless control and interaction. The Mudra proprietary Surface Nerve Conductance sensors pick up electromyography signals from subtle finger movements, translating them into intuitive commands for a wide range of devices and applications, including augmented reality (“AR”) glasses, smart TV streamers, mobile phone, tablet and personal computers, and smart home control.

“The Mudra Link reflects Wearable Devices’ commitment to advancing neural interface technology for a seamless and practical user experience,” said Asher Dahan, Chief Executive Officer of Wearable Devices. “As the first neural gesture control device compatible with all the leading operating systems platforms, the Mudra Link greatly expands our market reach and reinforces our role as pioneers in redefining human-machine interaction.”

CNET: The RayNeo X3 Pro Using the Mudra Link is Similar to Meta's Prototype Orion Glasses

As AR, virtual reality (“VR”), and extended reality (“XR”) technologies continue to evolve, the Mudra technology is positioned as a critical enabler for extended reality ecosystems. According to CNET, one of the leading tech magazines, that reviewed the Mudra Link: “Gadgets like these have a bigger reason to exist thanks to the arrival of smart glasses.”

CNET’s reporter highlighted the collaboration between RayNeo™️ and Wearable Devices, drawing comparisons to Meta’s future glasses, saying that, “The RayNeo X3 Pro, a pair of AR glasses, have cameras, enable hand tracking and have dual displays built into the clear lenses in a smaller size. They work with a wrist-worn neural band made by Mudra that, similar to Meta's prototype Orion glasses, can detect small finger movements and use them to control apps.”

A Platform for Developers and Innovators

In addition to its versatility for end-users, the Mudra Development Kit offers corporations, brands, developers and innovators ways to explore wearable gesture control and unlock new use-cases, applications and solutions.

Features of the Mudra Link Include:

• Intuitive Gesture Control: With advanced neural interface technology, Mudra Link captures the smallest movements of a user’s hand and translates them into precise commands.
• Customizable Gestures: Users can make Mudra Link their own by personalizing gestures for their favorite apps, giving them total control over their digital life. It enables the mapping of gestures to specific commands to create customized interactions.
• Compatible with Everything: Whether using iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS, Mudra Link works across platforms, opening up new possibilities for gaming, smart home automation, and even professional tasks.

The Mudra Link is now generally available and can be ordered immediately at https://mudra-band.com/pages/mudra-link-main with shipments expected to commence by the end of January 2025.
