In other developments and happenings in the wearables market recently include:

Vuzix^® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), a leading supplier of smart glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, recently announced that the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has expanded its deployment of Vuzix M400™ smart glasses after placing a follow-on order for additional devices, all equipped with subscription-based Zoom licenses to support their goal of boosting operational efficiency and safety during field inspections and service activities.

This expansion follows two years of rigorous trials, training, and system refinements, during which OSHA officials gained proficiency with the smart glasses' setup and software. Vuzix M400 smart glasses allow inspectors and field personnel to collaborate in real time with superiors and technical support personnel.

Meta Platforms, Inc (NASDAQ: META) recently announced it has updated the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses with AI video capability and real-time language translation functionality.

The Facebook parent, which first announced the features during its annual Connect conference in September, said the update is available for members that are part of its “Early Access Program.”

The latest update adds video to Meta's AI chatbot assistant, which allows the Ray-Ban smart glasses to process what the user is seeing and respond to questions in real time. The smart glasses will now be able to translate speech in real time between English and Spanish, French or Italian.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) recently announced an all-new version of its Android operating system designed to power virtual and augmented reality headsets and glasses. Dubbed Android XR, the software, which Google developed in conjunction with Samsung, will allow users to interact with everything from virtual reality apps to real-world objects via your voice, motion controls, and eye-tracking capabilities.

What makes things different this time around, the companies say, is the inclusion of Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence software. “We are at an inflection point for… XR, where breakthroughs in multimodal AI enable natural and intuitive ways to use technology in your everyday life,” Google president of Android Ecosystem Sameer Samat said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to partner with Samsung to build a new ecosystem with Android XR, transforming computing for everyone on next-generation devices like headsets, glasses, and beyond.”

Wearable Devices Ltd. (NASDAQ: WLDS), an award-winning pioneer in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-based wearable gesture control technology, introduces the groundbreaking Neural Wristband category with its Mudra Band and Mudra Link. These innovative devices use proprietary Surface Nerve Conductance (“SNC”) technology to detect neural signals and wrist movements, allowing users to control digital devices through intuitive gestures. As the demand for face-worn devices is rising and with new product announcements by Meta and Snap, among other brands and devices, a neural wristband provides hands-free control through natural gestures, enhancing immersion and user satisfaction.

At Wearable Devices, the belief is clear: the pace of technological advancement is dictated by user interfaces. To bring this vision to life, Wearable Devices has developed SNC technology, which decodes neural signals from subtle wrist movements. As each finger movement, or gesture, has a unique neural signal pattern, AI algorithms decipher the neural pattern, and each gesture is bound with a control function. A user uses familiar everyday gestures such as tap and drag and move to interact with digital elements naturally and intuitively.
