WEARABLE DEVICES LTD. Wearable Devices Ltd. announced that it has filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for continued parameter adjustment using hand and wrist gestures of augmented reality (AR) wearables such as AR and virtual reality (VR) headsets. Pinch-to-zoom introduces a sophisticated gesture-based interface that replicates the same intuitive action universally recognized in smartphone use. In ?Heads up Display?
(HUD) devices such as AR and VR headsets, adjustment of parameters like zooming in and out, volume control, and brightness are cumbersome and require the full movement of the hands or the use of both hands. The Company?s new patent enables the use of the familiar pinch-to-zoom function on AR and VR devices using only one hand while eliminating the need for physical touch.
