Wearable Devices Unlocks New Market Opportunities Following an Announcement of the Development of AI-Powered Gesture Personalization Technology
- Advancing AI-driven interactions for extended reality ("XR") and wearable technology markets –
Yokneam Illit, Israel, March 05, 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, is proud to announce its next-generation gesture personalization technology that is expected to reshape human-device interactions. This breakthrough technology aims to open new commercial and licensing opportunities in the fast-growing XR, smartwatch, and AI-driven device markets.
The Future of Personalized AI-Driven Gestures
As AI continues to shape our digital landscape, the way we interact with technology is evolving. Traditional input methods - keyboards, touchscreens, and voice commands - are expected to give way to more natural, seamless interactions. Wearable Devices is developing an AI-powered neural wristband technology for detection of user specific micro-gestures, enabling a future of personalized controls tailored to individual users.
While gestures such as Pinch, Pinch and Drag, and Drag are now in common use with multiple XR devices using gesture detection cameras, the use of a neural interface requires overcoming the various patterns a user may exhibit. Certain users may display neural patterns which are over the normal distribution patterns. Further, the development of new unique gestures which are personalized to a specific user may be hindered by the above obstacles.
Through leveraging Large Motor Unit Action Potential (MUAP) Models, Wearable Devices is enhancing its ability to create a higher gesture classification experience to all users. Micro gestures, in-which the fingers only perform a minute movement, and user-defined gestures can be added to a control scheme on a device, thus enhancing the comfort of control and the ease of use on multiple devices.
A New Era for AI-Powered Devices and XR Platforms
Wearable Devices' neural-based gesture personalization is being developed to revolutionize XR, smartwatches, and other AI-driven interfaces. The technology aims to enable:
- Micro-Gesture Precision: AI refining recognition of tiny movements, such as small and fine finger swipes or pinches, ensuring reliable, real-time responsiveness.
- Cross-Device Integration: Personalized gestures seamlessly operating across augmented reality ("AR")/virtual reality headsets, AR glasses, smartwatches, and other AI-powered devices, creating a unified interaction experience.
- Context-Aware Interactions: As the large language model gets tailored to the specific user behavior and gesture samples, the system becomes more adaptive to users' habits of performing a gesture.
Positioning for Growth in High-Value Markets
Wearable Devices is targeting rapidly growing markets, including AR, virtual reality ("VR"), smartwatches, and AI-driven wearables, where personalized input solutions are increasingly in demand. By developing user-specific, AI-adaptive control interfaces, the Company aims to:
- Enhance usability and accessibility for consumers and enterprise applications.
- Drive adoption of neural-based interfaces in the expanding AI and XR sectors.
- Establish licensing and commercialization opportunities for its proprietary technology.
Collaboration and Market Expansion
With over a decade of R&D and a growing patent portfolio, Wearable Devices is inviting AI and XR industry leaders to explore collaboration and integration opportunities.
