- The Mudra Band and Mudra Link offers hands free interactions, seamless toggle and switch across devices, and are perfectly positioned as input solution for AR, VR and MR experiences -
We are proud to release of a comprehensive white paper titled "Designing a Neural Input Wristband for Extended Reality Experiences." This white paper provides a thorough analysis of the technologies, market needs, and product aspects involved in developing a mass-market neural input wrist-worn wearable with applications for extended reality (XR).
The white paper details the simple, natural, and intuitive input need for XR that includes a low cognitive load and a graphical user interface that supports spatial body postures and hands-free interactions. The paper also explores a new framework for classifying human-computer interaction, which prioritizes the user experience rather than the classic device type approach, emphasizing the importance of introducing intent and neural-focused commands over touch and muscle-based interactions.
from touch and muscle-based movements to intent and neural-centered commands
The paper offers six specification parameters for the development of neural input solution technology that will be integrated into augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) devices. These six parameters are:
Reach:
determine the effective user base so that the device works properly straight out of the box
Accuracy:
the ability to recognize and interpret user inputs, and prevent false activations.
Latency:
measurement of the time delay between user input and controlled device response.
MAC:
standing for the total multiply and accumulate represents operations, which is an essential metric for running artificial intelligence (AI) neural networks on a low-compute wearable central processing unit (CPU).
Number of electrodes:
provide the ability to distinguish various nerve bundle biopotential signals from the wrist.
Band dimensions and form factor:
the wrist is an accustomed location for wearing a watch, making a watch band attachment a natural extension for wearable accessories.
Reach determines the effective user base the device works properly straight out of the box
