Wearable Play harnesses the power of AI, advanced wearable computing and natural inputs to enable social, deeply present and context-aware play.

Presence over Immersion

Augmenting reality without replacing it, this is play that happens in the real world, encouraging you to keep your attention on your physical surroundings and stay connected with others.

“In the Moment” context

This is play that reacts to the moment, augmenting reality to transform small moments and transitions into meaningful interactions by responding to real-time context like movement and social cues.

Embodied Interaction

Play driven by natural behaviour moves beyond controllers, using body, voice, and intent as the interface to facilitate magic through natural human action and communication.

Let's talk

**We are shifting from passive devices we stare at to systems that actively perceive.**

Leveraging a wide range of inputs and signals, wearable devices can now interpret and respond in the moment. From proximity and world context to biometrics and micro-intent gestures, this enhanced perception and context will turn everyday life into a canvas for a new type of play.

This is the The Wearable Play Loop.

Affordances of Wearable Play

Eyes-up, world-facing, and visual-light; these affordances are the building blocks for all future wearable experiences.

Real-time Contextual Perception

Sensing the moment you’re in and reacting to it.

The ability to sense what’s happening right now; movement, rhythm, space, transitions and subtle changes in the moment.

Value: Context-aware experiences feel alive and adaptive, enabling spontaneous play, timely support and meaningful moments that simply aren’t possible on static screens.

Shared-World Companions

A presence with you that comments on the world.

Co-present intelligences that perceive, interpret and respond to the same world you’re in. Hearing what you hear, moving as you move, responding to your day in realtime.

Value: Presence builds emotional connection, brand affinity and long term engagement. Not just characters, but co-travellers.

Intent-Aware Interactions

Using natural body language to interact, no buttons or screens.

Interaction that understands what you mean, not what you press. Gaze, voice micro-gestures, EMG, posture and natural behaviour as seamless input.

Value: It removes friction and UI complexity, enabling play and utility that feel intuitive, human, and hands-free.

Eyes Up, Hands Free

Ability to use the device without the need for hands / holding the device.

A world-facing interaction model, keeping your hands free, eyes up, visual-lite, no controllers, no disruptions to your daily life.

Value: It enables safe, socially acceptable experiences that fit naturally into daily routines…during commutes, chores, walks or social time. Making wearables genuinely useful and usable.

Soft Feedback

Subtle, non-intrusive personal device feedback.

Gentle cues, soft haptics, spatial audio and light pulses with minimal visuals that enrich a moment without interrupting it.

Value: Creates emotional texture, atmosphere and delightful micro-moments, enabling playful, expressive interactions that don’t demand attention or break presence.

Shared-World Models

Connecting people to the same moment, near or far.

Wearables that sync everyone to the same invisible state, allowing groups to share both their feelings (sensory) and their surroundings (context) without looking at screens.

Value: Traditional multiplayer is about what you see. This is about what you feel. It creates a sense of presence that video chat and screens can’t match.
