Wearable Devices Releases Mudra Developer Kit for Its Gesture Control Technology
YOKNEAM ILLIT, ISRAEL, Jan. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wearable Devices”) (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered touchless sensing wearables, today announced the launch of the Mudra Developer Kit (MDK), a pioneering technology in wristband neural gesture control, set to redefine how we interact with our devices.
With the capability of interpreting neural signals intended for the fingers, the Mudra Developer Kit signifies a leap forward in the human-device interaction domain.
The MDK comes with custom Surface Nerve Conductance sensors optimized for capturing nerve signals from major wrist nerve bundles such as the Ulnar, Radial, and Median nerves. The MDK deciphers the neural impulses into accurate Mudra 'Air-Touch' gestures which are translated into digital commands, offering an unmatched level of control.
The MDK allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to design new custom gestures and to use existing signals to monitor and analyze user behavior to track gesture-based actions for industrial time and motion studies. This makes the Mudra Band applicable across all market segments, and not just for areas such as extended reality, Smartwatches and Industry 4.0.
The MDK is now available for value-added resellers (VARs), distributors, OEMs and other partners wishing to create a competitive advantage for their customers and product offerings.
The Mudra Developer Kit provides consumer electronics developers with a comprehensive software development kit (SDK), including multiple Mudra Band devices in the form of a full-wrap wristband, charging cables, and advanced software tools for programming a wide array of gestures into digital actions using various coding languages and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The MDK package supports both Android and iOS platforms and offers sample code, apps and real-time neural signal monitoring. It uses Bluetooth communication and is HID-compatible.
The MDK’s deep learning algorithms and Recurrent Neural Networks AI deep learning models facilitate a user experience of discreet and intuitive gestures, translating hand and subtle finger movements such as a tap, and continuous fingertip pressure into commands for an extensive list of devices and potential applications in sectors such as sports analytics, digital health industry, gaming and more.
