Wearable Devices Files Patent Application in U.S. for Expanded AI-Based Technology for the Immersion Between Physical and Digital Worlds

YOKNEAM ILLIT, ISRAEL, Feb. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW) (“Wearable Devices” or the “Company”), a growth company developing a wrist-worn neural interface technology for B2B and B2C customers, today announced it has filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and with the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for expanded immersion between physical and digital worlds by leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Multimodal Sensing Interface (MMSI).

The technology behind this patent application has the potential to improve everyday Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) business processes and consumer entertainment patterns. The method transforms interaction and control to be as natural and intuitive as real-life experiences by providing a sense of physical reality and presence in a digital environment, supporting the Company’s mission of setting the input standard for the Metaverse.

“The current standard human computer interaction interfaces ignore the hand’s movement and action capabilities, which results in losing the complex motion and muscle force by which the user expresses an intent,” Guy Wagner, Chief Scientific Officer and Co-Founder of Wearable Devices, commented. “Furthermore, digital elements such as holograms and virtual objects lack realistic physical attributions, resulting in poor interpretation of the user’s intent and an unrealistic presentation of real-world mechanics. Using AI and Deep Learning algorithms enabled by our Mudra neural interface, our technology deciphers the movement, force, and pressure a user applies on physical objects, and provides a real-time, realistic and contextual output. It enables interactions to feel realistic by responding to actual finger and hand movements, providing a more natural and intuitive method to control digital devices by interpreting user intention clearly into a digital control command.”

About Wearable Devices Ltd.

Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company”), a growth company developing a non-invasive neural input interface technology in the form of a wrist wearable band for controlling digital devices using subtle finger movements. Our company’s vision is to create a world in which the user’s hand becomes a universal input device for touchlessly interacting with technology, and we believe that our technology is setting the standard input interface for the Metaverse. Since our technology was introduced to the market, we have been working with both Business-to-Business and Business-to-Consumer customers as part of our push-pull strategy. Combining our own proprietary sensors and Artificial Intelligence, or AI, algorithms into a stylish wristband, our Mudra platform enables users to control digital devices through subtle finger movements and hand gestures, without physical touch or contact.
