Thu Sep 26 12:45:00 UTC 2024: ## Wearable Devices Welcomes Meta to Gesture Control Arena, Reinforces its Leadership Position

**Yokneam Ilit, Israel – September 26, 2024** – Wearable Devices Ltd. (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW), a leading innovator in AI-based gesture control technology, has expressed enthusiasm over Meta’s entry into the gesture control market, announced at Meta Connect 2024.

“Welcome, Meta. Seriously,” stated Wearable Devices CEO Asher Dahan. “Competition only fuels innovation, and we are excited to see Meta’s new focus on the neural interface sector, an area Wearable Devices has been pioneering for over a decade.”

Dahan highlighted that Wearable Devices has already revolutionized human-technology interaction with its award-winning Mudra Band and Mudra Link devices. These neural gesture control wearables allow users to navigate digital environments hands-free, using their thoughts and intentions.

“Meta’s move into this field validates the immense potential and growing importance of neural control,” added Mr. Dahan. “We at Wearable Devices have been at the forefront of this technology, and we look forward to continuing to push boundaries alongside other key players.”

Wearable Devices’ Mudra Band, which won the prestigious ‘Best of CES Innovation Award’ in 2021, has already enhanced the experience of thousands of users. While Meta showcased its neural wristband as a prototype for smart glasses, Wearable Devices offers a versatile solution that controls computers, applications, and smart glasses.

Wearable Devices remains committed to its position as a leader in the rapidly expanding field of Extended Reality, driven by its AI-based neural input interface technology. The company’s flagship product, the Mudra Band for Apple Watch, is a stylish wristband that allows users to interact with connected devices through subtle finger and wrist movements. The company also offers a B2B product, available for licensing, that utilizes the same technology.

Wearable Devices’ ordinary shares and warrants trade on the Nasdaq market under the symbols “WLDS” and “WLDSW”, respectively.
