The 'Mudra Band' is an aftermarket solution for Apple Watch users that will provide them with an alternative way to control the device that doesn't require any physical interaction with the wearable. The band works by being attached onto the smartwatch's main body and will go to work with a series of sensors within to provide users with the ability to perform actions using only hand gestures. This includes managing calls, notifications and music by simply creating specific shapes and/or movements with their hands and fingers to manipulate the on-screen functions.
The 'Mudra Band' is ideal for users of all kinds, but could show distinct promise for those who require more support when it comes to accessibility to help them use the device with more comfort.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Gesture Control Wearables
- There is opportunity for companies to develop other wearable devices that can perform actions using only hand gestures.
- Aftermarket Wearable Solutions
- There is potential for the development of aftermarket wearable devices to enhance the functionality of existing devices.
- Accessible Technology
- There is a growing need for the development of technology solutions that are accessible to users of all abilities.
Sectors Adopting This
- Wearable Technology
- Companies within the wearable technology industry can benefit from developing gesture control wearable devices.
- Consumer Electronics
- There is potential for companies in the consumer electronics industry to develop aftermarket solutions like the Mudra Band.
- Assistive Technology
- The development of gesture control wearable devices like the Mudra Band has promising opportunities within the assistive technology industry.
