Israeli extended reality (XR) technology developer Wearable Devices is working on an innovative touchless control system that enables soldiers to manage mission-critical equipment through natural, gesture-based commands—completely hands-free. The concept aims to boost combat efficiency by allowing troops to keep their focus on their surroundings while still operating essential gear.
The system relies on proprietary sensors capable of detecting subtle nerve and muscle signals. These inputs are processed through an AI-powered neural interface, translating them into real-time commands without the need for physical contact with equipment.
This hands-free capability allows operators to control radios, targeting devices, and other tactical hardware without shifting attention away from the battlefield. By eliminating the need for manual input, the technology not only speeds up reaction times but also reduces the risk of distraction during high-stress engagements.
According to the company, the project represents a significant step toward next-generation soldier systems, where wearable tech integrates seamlessly with operational tasks to create faster, more intuitive battlefield interactions.
