AI-powered touchless sensing wearables are the focus of Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wearable Devices”), a technology growth company. The company recently announced that it has filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for continued parameter adjustment of augmented reality (AR) wearables, such as AR and virtual reality (VR) headsets, using hand and wrist gestures.
With pinch-to-zoom, an advanced gesture-based interface is introduced, mimicking the same natural movement that is widely used with smartphones. Parameters like brightness, volume control, and in-and-out zoom are difficult to manage on “Heads up Display” (HUD) devices, including AR and VR headsets, and necessitate using both hands. With just one hand and no need for physical contact, users of AR and VR devices may now utilize the well-known pinch-to-zoom feature thanks to the company’s latest patent.
“We are introducing a significant leap forward for the wearable technology industry with the application for patent covering a gesture control solution that seamlessly integrates with AR and VR wearable devices,” said Guy Wagner, Chief Scientist Officer and co-founder of Wearable Devices. It is well recognized that the usability and capabilities of emerging technologies, like AR and VR headsets, have an impact on how quickly they are adopted. We think that by giving consumers a familiar and comfortable way to interact with new technology, we are greatly increasing the gadgets’ adoption rate.
