Wearable games: What to know

- [Narrator] When thinking about designing a game for wearable, it's wise to think about the context of where the user is and what they're doing. Since the wearable is usually on an arm, don't force them to keep their arm raised for too long. If you're watching a video on your watch, you're doing it wrong. Ideally, it should be glanceable, lightweight interactive actions that you're creating within your game. So, some things to think about might be things like fitness games or utilizing GPS locations.

For example, in a scavenger hunt, maybe they have to go from one place to the next and pick up different things in the different locations.
