      Founded in 2014 by 3 senior Intel alumni, this NASDAQ-listed company makes smart wearables for the XR Revolution.Wearable Devices' MUDRA is a non-invasive band for Apple Watch, for use with AR/VR, repetitive task monitoring, hands-free industrial control, the smart home (lighting and media), and other electronics that require human input. Using minute electrodes, the device analyses real-time BRAIN SIGNALS (median, ulnar and radial nerve packets) via ionic exchange through SNC (surface nerve conductance). Then via deep-learning artificial intelligence algorithms, we ascertain precise user-generated gestures. State-of-the-art bio-compatible sensors measure pressure, weight distribution and multi-DOF positional co-ordinates for industrial/recreational use-cases.Think “Air-mouse” 2.0… but way more useful.Gestural control is the future of AR/VR/XR & Metaverse interaction (among several emerging technologies). Mudra-band is compatible with Apple Watch, augmenting or replacing other input devices. Wearable Devices has multiple patents covering state-of-the-art hardware, AI and software designs. Wearable Devices' technology has unmatched low cross-talk, low sensitivity to random changes in location, medium computational complexity, rapid calibration, low power consumption (Bluetooth LE) and a highly miniaturized footprint. Our multi-award winning wearable is the smallest commercialized gestural interface of its kind.EVP responsibilities: maximizing strategic initiatives; monitoring performance management; supporting distribution and operations; establishing and maintaining industry relationships; and guiding marketing and feature-set direction.Our MUDRA Band was named WINNER: BEST WEARABLE CES 2021 and Paley Media’s BEST OF CES 2023WLDS is the company’s NASDAQ ticker symbol, first officially traded on Sep. 13, 2022.
