Wearable Devices receives U.S. patent for gesture control

Wearable Devices (WLDS) announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted a continuation of its patent titled “Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device”, strengthening its leadership in revolutionizing intuitive human-device interactions for next-generation digital ecosystems. Traditional gesture sensing systems continuously track hand and finger movements but lack clear “start” and “end” points, making it difficult for devices to understand when a user truly intends to zoom, adjust volume, or manipulate an object. As a result, unintuitive solutions have been used – such as requiring the use of both hands, adding special buttons, or abandoning continuous control altogether. The same goes for voice assistants, which require a “wake word”, prompting them to wait for further instructions. Wearable Devices’ newly allowed patent defines a method to extract precise start and end points from continuous gestures. This breakthrough enables devices to support natural and intuitive control gestures like pinch-to-zoom not just for zooming images, but also for adjusting volume, resizing objects, or moving elements – seamlessly and touch-free.
