Wearable Devices, the Israel-based company specialising in AI -powered touchless sensing wearables, has announced a major update to its Mudra Link product, transforming it into a personalised neural wristband controller worn on the wrist.

The new Mudra Link gesture mapper feature allows users to assign personalised input commands to specific gestures, enabling intuitive, touchless control across multiple compatible devices and operating systems. By customising their interaction experience, users can streamline workflows, enhance accessibility and enjoy more natural, hands-free operation.

The Mudra Link gesture mapper offers both computer mouse functionality and directional pad functionality. Users can configure a tap gesture to be a left or right mouse button click, and gestures like pinch and slide or double-tap to any keyboard key. This flexibility allows users to replace or augment traditional input methods, enabling more efficient, accessible and personalised control across a wide range of devices and applications.

“The Mudra Link is heralding an era of wearable brain-computer interfaces, as an established product in the neural wristband product category for user input and interaction,” said Asher Dahan, Wearable Devices CEO. “With the gesture mapper, we set out to make neural input as intuitive and accessible as possible. This feature not only delivers immediate value through customisable gestures but also invites a growing community to explore new ways of interacting with technology.”

US patent

In connection, Wearable Devices has secured a patent titled ‘Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device’ with the United States Patent and Trademark Office has allowed.

This represents a significant advancement in the company’s strategic intellectual property (IP) portfolio, strengthening global protection for its core innovations in wearable bio-potential sensors. The company’s IP strategy includes patent families designed to protect a wide spectrum of future applications, ensuring agility in response to emerging global market needs.

“Voice control is an essential interface for smart environments, but it often lacks the precision, personalisation and the security users need,” said Guy Wagner, Wearable Devices president and CSO. “By integrating voice and gesture-based interaction along with neural and voice-based user authentication, we’re bridging that gap, enabling users not only initiate actions by voice but also to fine-tune and personalise device behaviour through intuitive gestures. This combination introduces a new dimension of seamless, secure and intelligent human-computer interaction.”
