Wearable Devices publishes report by extended reality team

Wearable Devices has published its third comprehensive report by its extended reality team. This report reviews the integration of wearable and camera gesture-control technologies and sets a definitive benchmark for the future of gesture-control wearables. The report, titled “Interaction Beyond Boundaries: Integrating Wearable Neural Interfaces and Gesture Recognition Cameras for Enhanced User Experience,” establishes that Wearable Devices is in a unique position leveraging both market knowledge and advanced neural technology perspectives. The insights presented in this new report provide an essential requirements framework for any commercially viable and truly useful gesture-control wristband. As such, it sets the bar for the entire wearables market against which all future gesture-control wristbands and rings should be measured. The report also analyzed how the Mudra input wristband can be tailored to provide natural and intuitive input solutions for screenless, limited and rich display face-worn products. For screenless devices, like the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, discrete finger movements such as tap, a double-tap, and index or thumb finger movements with wrist orientation can emulate a controller-type input. For monocular displays, used in products such as the Google Glass Edition 2, using flicks – hand swipes and scrolls – for navigation, and tap/double tap gestures to input commands offers clear, distinct directional gestures such as a directional pad, that maximizes accuracy and minimize the likelihood of accidental presses. For mixed reality rich display headsets, the Mudra wrist-worn input solution can offer a full pointing device capability – navigating a cursor using wrist movements and gesturing using tap and drag gestures.
