Gesture control may not be as spicy as the AI hardware and health innovations we’ve spotted so far at CES 2025, but Mudra Link’s debut at the show might just change that perception .
The neural bracelet allows users to control a range of devices with subtle hand movements. It works similarly to the brand’s previous effort (Wearable Devices) – the Apple-focused Mudra Band – but the list of compatible gadgets now includes Android, Windows, and macOS products.
This opens the door to hands-free control of AR glasses, PCs, smart TV systems, phones, tablets, smart home devices and much more. It uses a proprietary “Surface Nerve Conductance” sensor inside the Whoop Appearance Band to capture electromyographic signals from user movements and translate them into commands for chosen devices.
Think of it as an advanced, dedicated version of the Apple Watch’s Double Tap feature – or a non-AR version of the gestures used to control Apple visionOS.
Moreover, it will soon be available via the brand’s website. After introducing the Link at the Las Vegas show this week, shipments are expected to begin this month for $199.
We can’t wait to have a demo at the show. As we say, specific gesture control devices have hardly occupied a high position in the great pyramid of wearable devices over the last decade, but the rise of AR hardware will surely create more needs.
After all, we’ve already seen how something like the Lotus Ring can help disabled people with specific gestures. Even Apple seems interested in an input device for its space computing platform, filing tons of patents for what looks like an Apple Ring over the past decade.
