(Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW) ("Wearable Devices" or the "Company"), a technology growth company specializing in AI-powered touchless sensing wearable devices, today announced that Guy Wagner, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Wearable Devices, will deliver a keynote session, titled "How BCI is Removing the Friction from AR and AI Interaction" at AWE USA 2026 taking place in Long Beach, California. Human intention and inter-human communication are rich and high-dimensional. In contrast, human-Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) interaction is mostly limited to text and speech, loses valuable contextual data, and thus becomes locked in a continuous, frustrating prompt-check-correct cycle, unable to adapt to human context or understand real intent. This growing gap between human intent and machine understanding is one of the central challenges facing the next era of spatial computing. The keynote session will explore how brain–computer interface technology and specifically wrist-worn neural sensing, together with other biosignals, such as Inertial Measurement Unit and Photoplethysmography data, can help reduce this gap, shifting interfaces from discrete commands toward a continuous alignment loop between people and intelligent systems. "As AI and Augmented Reality (“AR”) systems become more capable, the interface remains the bottleneck, limiting the richness of human intention to textual prompts, commands, and gestures," said Mr. Wagner. "By combining wrist-worn neural sensing with physiological context and real-time AR feedback, intent-based motionless interaction can help systems understand users faster and may enable AI agents to adapt to humans and read their intentions between the lines." The keynote session is based on Wearable Devices' white paper, "From Intention to Action: How Brain-Computer Interfaces Are Removing Friction from AI &amp; AR Interaction," which will be released after the talk. The session will take place on June 18, 2026, from 1:40 PM to 2:05 p.m. PT in Promenade Room 104B as part of the XR Enablement track at AWE USA 2026. About Wearable Devices Wearable Devices Ltd.
