Wearable Devices Ltd. (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW) (“Wearable Devices” or the “Company”), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered touchless sensing wearables, today announced a collaboration with Rokid – a global pioneer in human-computer interaction and augmented reality, to deliver gesture control for AI and augmented reality (“AR”) glasses that feels natural, fast and consistent in daily use. Under the collaboration, Rokid Glasses (the world’s lightest full-featured AI and AR glasses) and Wearable Devices’ Mudra Link are compatible and ready for each other, with joint marketing and consumer bundle opportunities planned for a second quarter of 2026 rollout.

Wearable Devices and Rokid will work together across product readiness and go-to-market efforts to make it easier for consumers to use Rokid Glasses with Mudra Link for touch-free, wrist-based control.

The collaboration includes:

• Compatibility readiness: Mudra Link and Rokid Glasses are ready for each other, including out-of-the-box pairing, pre-mapped gestures and a shared setup flow

• Consumer bundle planning: joint marketing and bundle opportunities targeted for initial rollout in the second quarter of 2026

• CES demonstrations: see the combined experience at the CES 2026, including Wearable Devices at LVCC, Central Hall, Booth 15650 and Rokid at Booth 17214

With smart glasses becoming more mainstream, the user experience often hinges on input. Rokid Glasses are positioned around everyday AI features such as real-time translation, navigation and audio transcription. Mudra Link is a neural wristband designed for personalized gesture control across Bluetooth devices. Together, the companies aim to reduce friction in common, repeatable actions so consumers can spend less time managing controls and more time accessing core features.

“Smart glasses do not win on features alone. They win when control becomes second nature,” said Asher Dahan, Chief Executive Officer of Wearable Devices. “Together with Rokid, we are aligning compatibility, onboarding and joint marketing so consumers can experience a practical combination: Rokid Glasses for everyday AI utility and Mudra Link for subtle, wrist-based control that works without the user having to think about it.”

Rokid Glasses are the world’s lightest AI and AR glasses, weighing just 49 grams, with a built-in 12MP first-person camera, Micro LED waveguide displays, and integrated audio. Designed for both consumer and professional use, they offer real-time translation, object recognition, navigation, transcription, and other AI-driven functions in a discreet, all-day wearable.

“Rokid Glasses are designed to deliver real-world AI value in a lightest weight form factor with display,” said Zoro Shao, Global General Manager of Rokid. “Mudra Link adds an out-of-the-box input gesture control option that fits how people naturally move their hands. By collaborating to make the two products ready for each other, we simplify setup and make daily interactions more intuitive for users.”

Wearable Devices and Rokid plan to demonstrate the combined experience at the CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada, on January 6–9, 2026. Media and analysts can request briefings, hands-on demos and joint interviews during the show.
