Wearable Devices Introduces Updates for the Mudra Link Application with Customized Presets and Enhanced Smart-Glasses Usability
Rhea-AI Summary
Wearable Devices (Nasdaq: WLDS) announced two Mudra Link updates on December 22, 2025: customized presets and on‑device Mudra Link compatibility for select smart‑glasses models. The presets map common functions (back, home, play/pause, volume) to wrist gestures and can be applied or edited by users. Running Mudra Link directly on supported glasses lets users pair devices, complete onboarding, adjust the gesture mapper and apply customized settings without a PC or phone.
Wearable Devices says the changes aim to reduce onboarding friction, shorten setup time and deliver cross‑brand gesture consistency; rollout begins Q1 2026 with more models added through the year.

Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective Form F-3 shelf allows resale of up to 3,322,000 warrant-linked shares. The company would receive up to $5.7 million only if these New Warrants are exercised for cash at $1.71 per share, and the filing highlights potential dilution from warrant exercises and future issuances.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement extends Mudra’s role as a control layer for smart-glasses by adding customized presets and on-device onboarding, with rollout starting in the first quarter of 2026. It follows recent technology enhancements and regional distribution deals, indicating continued focus on augmented and extended reality use cases. Investors may watch how many smart-glasses models adopt these features and how quickly usage scales, while considering dilution risks flagged in the company’s active Form F‑3 and related warrant structures.

New features deliver instant and consistent gesture control, allowing users to complete onboarding entirely on select supported glasses models
Yokneam Illit, Israel, Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW) (“Wearable Devices” or the “Company”), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered touchless sensing wearable devices, today announced two updates designed to simplify and standardize gesture-based interaction across the smart-glasses ecosystem: customized presets and compatibility of the Mudra Link application on select smart glasses models.
Both updates reduce onboarding friction, shorten setup time and give users a predictable, cross-brand control experience. Together, they help move the Mudra platform toward a unified and interoperable input layer for augmented reality and extended reality devices.
As the smart-glasses category expands across consumer and enterprise markets, input consistency is becoming essential. These updates support that shift by offering:
● Immediate usability: Common functions work out of the box.
● Reduced friction: Lets users complete onboarding entirely on the glasses itself.
● Cross-brand consistency: Familiar gestures work the same way across supported devices.
● Stronger interoperability: A more cohesive experience for developers and users.
“People want their smart-glasses to work the moment they put them on,” said Asher Dahan, Chief Executive Officer of Wearable Devices. “Customized presets and the Mudra Link application that runs in the glasses reduce setup time and make the entire experience more seamless and predictable. These updates strengthen Mudra’s role as the prevailing neural input layer across brands.”
With customized presets, Mudra now gives users preset control layouts for supported smart-glasses. These presets tie familiar functions such as back, home, play/pause and volume to specific wrist gestures. Users can apply the presets immediately or modify any of the mappings to suit their needs. Users may also add tailored-custom settings for various additional devices and configure gestures to trigger their desired functions.
As the Mudra Link application now runs directly on select smart-glasses brands, users can pair their Mudra device and perform onboarding, adjust settings and use the gesture mapper and the customized settings on the glasses themselves, without moving back and forth to a PC or mobile device.
Availability
Customized presets and the Mudra Link application for select smart glasses will begin rolling out to supported smart-glasses in the first quarter of 2026, with additional models expected to be added throughout the year.
