Wearable Devices and RayNeo to Unveil Transformative Gesture-Controlled AR Glasses Powered by Mudra Neural Wristband and Snapdragon XR Platform at CES®
Yokneam Illit, Israel, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (NASDAQ:WLDS, WLDSW)) and RayNeo™ today announced their groundbreaking collaboration to redefine the augmented reality ("AR") experience with the debut of the RayNeo™ X3 Pro glasses, pre-bundled with Wearable Devices' Mudra® neural input wristband. The glasses are powered by the Snapdragon® AR1 Gen 1 Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. This ecosystem collaboration sets a new standard for intuitive and immersive AR interaction.
Wearable Devices' Mudra® technology transforms AR interactions with RayNeo™ by utilizing highly accurate neural-input wristbands for gesture tracking. This advancement does not require line-of-sight gestures, reducing device weight and power consumption, and enabling more compact and fashionable designs. With Mudra® technology, RayNeo™ users can control their AR experience through subtle, familiar gestures, enjoying enhanced functionality and comfort.
The co-branded new AR glasses, bearing the label "Powered by Mudra® Technology," will be showcased at the RayNeo™ booth (#17704) and Wearable Devices' booth (#15758) in the Las Vegas Convention Center's Central Hall at CES® 2025.
Offir Remez, Executive VP of Wearable Devices, stated, "Our collaboration with RayNeo™ marks a significant milestone in the evolution of augmented reality. Mudra's® wrist neural technology enables intuitive and seamless interaction with RayNeo™ glasses to provide users with the next-level professional AR experience."
"This collaboration marks a significant leap in AR technology, bringing together neural input innovation and advanced AR design," said Howie Li, Chief Executive Officer of RayNeo™. "The RayNeo™ X3 Pro glasses and Mudra neural wristband deliver an intuitive, seamless AR experience, redefining how users interact with the digital world."
Sahil Bansal, Senior Director, Product Management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., stated: "With the growing popularity of smart glasses, we're excited to see innovation like Wearable Devices' Mudra® wristband that allows users to intuitively navigate display enabled AR devices. This new technology is a great companion for RayNeo's™ new glasses powered by Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1."
Features of Wearable Devices' Mudra® technology Include:
- Intuitive Gesture Control: With advanced neural interface technology, Mudra® technology captures a user's hand movement intents and translates them into touchless digital commands.
- Customizable Gestures: Users can personalize Mudra® 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® technology works across platforms, opening up new possibilities for gaming, smart home automation, and even professional tasks.
CES® attendees are invited to experience the bundled product in action and discuss its implications for the AR ecosystem with Wearable Devices and RayNeo™ executives.
