- Wearable Devices Ltd. (WLDS, Financial) secures a U.S. patent for a pioneering gesture and voice-controlled interface device, enhancing touchless interactions with digital devices.
- The patent introduces a method to precisely identify the start and end points of continuous gestures, improving natural single-handed control.
- The technology is applicable to AR headsets and gesture-controlled devices, positioning Wearable Devices as a key innovator in human-device interaction.
Wearable Devices Ltd. (NASDAQ: WLDS), specializing in AI-powered touchless sensing technology, has received a continuation of a U.S. patent for its "Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device." This advancement marks a significant leap in the realm of intuitive and touchless device interaction, tackling a longstanding issue in gesture control systems.
Traditional gesture controls often face the challenge of imprecise identification of gesture start and end points, leading to reliance on cumbersome solutions such as both hands, special buttons, or voice wake words. Wearable Devices' new patent addresses this by detailing a method for exact identification of these points, allowing for seamless, natural control gestures, like zooming or adjusting volume, without the need for additional prompts or buttons.
This innovation has wide-ranging applications, especially for augmented reality (AR) headsets, smart devices, and wearable controllers equipped with cameras, Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), or electromyography (EMG) sensors. By enabling fine-tuned, touch-free interaction, Wearable Devices cements its leadership in enhancing user experiences in emerging digital ecosystems.
