Wearable Devices Ltd. (NASDAQ: WLDS) has announced that its Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Guy Wagner, will deliver a keynote presentation at AWE USA 2026 in Long Beach, California. The session, titled “How BCI is Removing the Friction from AR and AI Interaction,” will focus on how brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies can bridge the gap between human intent and machine understanding in artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) environments.
According to the press release, Wagner’s presentation will highlight the company’s vision of moving beyond traditional text, voice, and gesture-based inputs toward continuous, intent-driven interaction between users and intelligent systems. The keynote will draw on the company’s forthcoming white paper, “From Intention to Action: How Brain-Computer Interfaces Are Removing Friction from AI & AR Interaction,” which is scheduled for release after the event. The paper will explore how wrist-worn neural sensing combined with biosignals—such as inertial measurement unit (IMU) and photoplethysmography (PPG) data—can create more seamless interactions.
Wearable Devices is a growth company specializing in human-computer interaction through its AI-powered neural input touchless technology. Its consumer products, the Mudra Band and Mudra Link, define the neural input category for wrist-worn devices and brain-computer interfaces. These products enable touch-free, intuitive control of digital devices using gestures across multiple operating systems. The company operates through a dual-channel model of direct-to-consumer sales and enterprise licensing and collaborations, serving consumers in gaming, productivity, and extended reality (XR), as well as enterprise partners in AR/VR/XR and smart environments.
The keynote at AWE USA 2026 underscores the growing importance of BCI in the tech industry. As AR and AI become more integrated into daily life, the limitations of current input methods—voice, text, and gestures—become apparent. BCI technologies offer a path to more natural, intuitive interactions, potentially reducing cognitive load and improving user experience. For the industry, this could mean faster adoption of AR and AI applications in fields ranging from healthcare to manufacturing. For readers, the implications are significant: future devices may anticipate user intentions without explicit commands, leading to more efficient workflows and immersive experiences.
Wearable Devices’ presentation at a major event like AWE USA positions the company at the forefront of this shift. The company’s ordinary shares and warrants trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “WLDS” and “WLDSW,” respectively.

The announcement comes as the XR ecosystem seeks to overcome input friction, a key barrier to mainstream adoption. By leveraging neural sensing and biosignals, Wearable Devices aims to set a new standard for seamless user experiences. As the company prepares for AWE USA 2026, its focus on intent-driven interaction could reshape how humans engage with intelligent systems, making technology more responsive and intuitive.
