Wearable Devices Upgrades Apple TV Experience Through Gesture Control
06 November 2023 - 11:50PM
Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wearable Devices”)
(Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW), a technology growth company specializing in
AI-powered touchless sensing wearables, today announced a new
technology feature for the Mudra Band which allows users to control
their Apple TV device using touchless hand movements, such as
swiping fingers across as if they are using an imagined virtual
Directional Pad, or D-pad. This new technology offers the ability
to use the Mudra Band either as a pointing device, or as a wearable
touchless directional pad interface.
The Mudra Band is an AI-powered aftermarket Apple Watch band,
which processes data from its accelerometer, gyroscope, and
proprietary surface nerve conductance sensors. Machine-learning
algorithms detect the unique pattern of tiny finger movements and
changes in wrist neural activity. The Mudra Band’s Air-Touch
functionality enables the use of subtle finger movements for point,
click, and drag and drop interactions. The user can control devices
across the Apple product ecosystem and other connected devices
using discrete gestures such as a tap of the index finger and
thumb, the continuous fingertip pressure between the index finger
and thumb, and wrist movements.
With the new added technology and functionality, Mudra Band
users will be able to navigate a complex menu, immerse themselves
in their favorite game, andoperate Apple TV with precise effortless
gestures. D-pad functionality is ideal for Apple TV applications
where precise directional control allows users to move in discrete
steps. This is well-suited for navigation in menus, games, and
other interfaces where familiar gestures are used, such as the
“slide-to-unlock” gesture to navigate left or right.

“With the integration of the directional pad interface,
interacting with digital devices has never been easier. Our
intuitive interface and user-experience brings a new level of
convenience at your fingertips, whether you’re a seasoned tech
enthusiast or a casual user,” commented Asher Dahan, Chief
Executive Officer of Wearable Devices. “Our commitment to
delivering exceptional user experiences is reflected in all aspects
of this new feature. This technology makes interaction with digital
device more accessible to everyone and it perfectly aligns with our
product philosophy and Company vision for setting the input
standard for extended reality experiences.”
The new D-pad gesture control feature for the Apple TV will be
available in the next Mudra Band app update.
