Developer Insights
• Now is a perfect time to enter the market• Be mindful of the unique UX (See guidelines from
Glass, Tizen etc)• Leverage new features on new devices eg heart beat
monitors, higher def displays, touch interfaces• OpenGL on new eyewear can unlock outstanding AR
experiences• When designing for watches, start with the lowest
common denominator (eg square face)• Low barrier to entry: participate in app contests,
experiment!
