Visitors will experience neural-click speed testing, gesture creation and smart-screen control powered by the Mudra Link

Yokneam Illit, Israel, Jan. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW) (“Wearable Devices” or the “Company”), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered touchless sensing wearable devices, will demonstrate how neural interaction can become a reliable and intuitive control method across smart-glasses and screens at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Marking its seventh CES exhibition, the Company’s presence will include its largest booth to date, featuring multiple hands-on demos for both consumers and eco-system partners.

At the booth, visitors can try the Mudra Link neural band through an interactive experience on a big screen. After a quick onboarding tryout, visitors will enjoy controlling and interacting with several games and applications, where the Mudra Link acts as an alternative to a computer mouse or a trackpad. In addition, visitors can try – for the first time – navigating the new Google Android extended reality (“XR”) operating system in a special demo.

In the Company’s meeting room, select partners will be able to try three core new innovative neural experiences which push the boundaries of neural interaction beyond plain gesture control. These demonstrations will be available at the Wearable Devices booth #15650.

Neural-Click

Attendees can compare their own neural intent timing against traditional click performance. The demo displays the time gap between when the brain initiates a click and when the mechanical click completes. It highlights the latency advantages neural input can offer for responsive interaction.

Neural Gesture Lab

Using Mudra’s sensors and on-device AI algorithms, visitors can create a new gesture, train it in seconds and test how accurately the system recognizes it. This demonstration shows how neural intent is captured at the wrist as the user activates specific finger movements.

Live Neural Intent Visualizer

Like an Application Programming Interface to the brain, this demo shows how a Mudra neural wristband senses neural signals as they travel through the wrist and maps how each finger is being activated. A real-time visual display updates live as the user moves. Each action—pinch, flick, or curl—produces a distinct activity pattern, illustrating how neural intent is detected before the motion even happens.

Smart-Screen and Smart-Glasses Control

Mudra Link will be shown controlling large displays, smart TVs and compatible smart-glasses, including the Galaxy XR device. These demos highlight everyday scenarios where hands-free interaction can improve comfort, accessibility and mobility.

Wearable Devices will also host private demonstrations and strategic partner discussions in its meeting room, including advanced neural-input capabilities for smart-glasses platforms currently in development.

"CES 2026 marks the moment where we stop adapting to devices and start making devices adapt to us,” said Asher Dahan, Chief Executive Officer of Wearable Devices. “Mudra captures your intent before the physical action even completes, turning your hand into a remote control for the entire smart-glasses ecosystem. We are showing the next evolution of human-computer interaction, and the goal is simple: gestures that feel like second nature."

Wearable Devices’ Mudra Link was named a CES 2025 Innovation Award honoree in the XR Technologies and Accessories category, and Mudra Band was awarded the CES 2021 “Best of CES Innovation Award” in the Best Wearable Category.
