- Wearable Devices recently announced updates to the Mudra Link to simplify and standardize interactions across the smart-glasses ecosystem
- It also successfully demonstrated and implemented an electromyography (“EMG”)-driven weight-estimation capability on the Mudra Link, which is a major advancement for the company’s neuromuscular computing roadmap
- The company has also partnered with Rokid to bring neural gesture control to AI and AR glasses ahead, with the companies planning to demonstrate the combined experience at CES 2026
Wearable Devices (NASDAQ: WLDS), a tech company specializing in AI-powered touchless sensing wearables, recently announced a few updates to improve gesture-based interaction across the smart-glasses ecosystem.
This includes customized presets, and compatibility of the Mudra Link app on certain smart glasses models. Each of these updates help to reduce onboarding friction, speed up the setup process, and give users a predictable control experience.
As the smart-glasses category expands, input consistency becomes incredibly important. This update helps support that shift, as it provides immediate usability right out of the box, lets users onboard entirely on the glasses, ensure familiar gestures work the same across devices, and provide a more cohesive experience in general.
These customized presets and the Mudra Link app for select smart glasses are expected to roll out in the first quarter of 2026, with a plan to add more models throughout the year.
In addition to these updates, WLDS also recently demonstrated and implemented an EMG-driven weight-estimation capability on the Mudra Link that’s based on the company’s recent patent for weight, torque, and force estimation.
This represents a major advancement for WLDS in the company’s neuromuscular computing roadmap and is part of the company’s ongoing research and development aimed at harnessing neuromuscular-signals-based technology to support new capabilities.
Using the proprietary neural interface, this pre-commercial model analyzes EMG patterns in the wrist when the wearer lifts something. While the capability is currently being used for benchmarking, testing, and proof-of-concept, it has potential use cases in industries like robotics, sports, healthcare, and extended reality (“XR”).
To further their footprint, WLDS recently partnered with Rokid to deliver gesture control for AI and augmented reality (“AR”) glasses that’s natural, fast, and consistent in daily use.
The collaboration ensures that the Mudra Link wearable and Rokid Glasses are compatible with one another, and the companies plan for joint marketing and consumer bundle opportunities in the second quarter of 2026.
The partnership will include out-of-the-box pairing, pre-mapped gestures, and a shared setup flow to streamline the process.
WLDS and Rokid are planning to demonstrate this combined experience between the devices at CES 2026, which takes place in Las Vegas from January 6th to January 9th. Media and analysts alike can request briefings, hands-on demos, or joint interviews during the show. In addition to their presentation, Wearable Devices is showcasing its neural-input technology at CES, demonstrating hands-free, gesture-based interaction with smart glasses and screens using its Mudra Link wristband. The demos highlight how neural and touchless controls can enable more intuitive, AI-driven user experiences and position the company within the growing smart-glasses and XR ecosystem.
