News often draws sharp but inconsistent reactions, with several positive announcements followed by mixed or even negative next-day moves.
Over the last months, WLDS has focused on expanding its Mudra ecosystem and funding runway. Recent milestones include an AI and AR glasses partnership with Rokid targeting Q2 2026, on‑device Mudra Link updates beginning in Q1 2026, and a $750,000 neurorehabilitation pilot budget approval. Capital-raising steps such as the $5.68 million warrant inducement and prior financings add dilution risk. Today’s Android Mudra Link launch continues the theme of broadening platform support and XR readiness within this roadmap.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective Form F-3 allows resale of up to 3,322,000 shares tied to new warrants. WLDS would receive up to $5.7 million if exercised for cash at $1.71, and filings highlight potential dilution from these and other outstanding securities.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement expands Mudra Link to a full-feature Android app, removing the prior dependence on macOS or Windows for setup and targeting Android-first XR devices. It continues WLDS’s push into AI-driven neural interfaces across mobile, desktop and smart glasses. Investors may track adoption around CES 2026 demos, subsequent integration with XR hardware, and capital-structure developments, including warrant exercises under the effective F-3, which filings note could materially dilute existing shareholders.

Brings full Mudra Link feature set to Android mobile and XR devices,
with demos at CES 2026
Yokneam Illit, Israel, Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered touchless sensing wearables, today announced the upcoming release of its Mudra Link Android app, extending Mudra Link’s neural gesture control experience to Android users with full feature support.
The new Mudra Link Android app is designed to bring the same core Mudra Link experience currently available on macOS and Windows PCs to Android devices, including the complete set of Mudra features supported on other platforms. While Mudra Link has previously been compatible with Android for gesture control, the initial configuration and onboarding required a macOS or Windows PC. The new Mudra Link Android app eliminates this requirement, bringing the same core Mudra Link experience currently available on desktops directly to the Android ecosystem as a standalone solution.
Key capabilities include:
- Full Mudra feature support on Android, including settings, gesture customization and command mapping
- Out-of-the-box onboarding, including pairing and a guided setup experience
- Extended reality (“XR”) readiness, enabling Mudra Link control workflows that align with Android-first XR usage
Android remains the default mobile operating system for a large share of global consumers and a major foundation for XR ecosystems. By adding Android app support with full Mudra feature parity, Wearable Devices is aiming to expand its market and reduce friction for users who want neural gesture control that works across mobile, desktop and XR workflows without forcing a change in platform.
“Until now, Mudra Link users could only access the full Mudra experience on Mac and Windows,” said Ohad Shevily, Vice President of Product Development at Wearable Devices. “With Android being the operating system used by most current smart glasses platforms, the launch of our Android app closes a critical gap. It delivers the complete Mudra feature set, including gesture mapping and a guided setup flow, allowing Android users to move seamlessly from pairing to control without extra steps.”
CES 2026 demos
Wearable Devices will demonstrate the Mudra Link Android experience at CES 2026, LVCC Central Hall, Booth 15650.
