Abstract: A wearable device can be worn by a user, and can include a mode selector, one or more sensors, a signal detector to detect wireless signals, a feedback mechanism comprising at least one of a haptic system, an audio system, or a visual system and providing feedback outputs. The wearable device can also include a controller that can initiate a selected mode from a plurality of modes on the wearable device, where the selected mode causing the controller to execute a real-world game. In accordance with the selected mode, the controller can interpret sensor data from the one or more sensors and inputs from the signal detector, where the sensor data corresponds to a series of actions performed by the user utilizing the wearable device. Based the interpretations, the controller can generate feedback responses via a feedback mechanism.

Abstract: A system can include a wearable device and a self-propelled device. The wearable device can include a controller that, in response to a user input on the mode selector, initiates a selected mode from a plurality of modes on the wearable device. The selected mode can cause the controller to establish a communication link with the self-propelled device, and generate an output using a feedback mechanism instructing the user to perform a series of actions with the wearable device. In accordance with the selected mode, the controller can interpret sensor data from one or more sensors to determine whether the user has performed the series of actions while utilizing the wearable device. Based on determining whether the user has performed the series of actions, the controller can generate one of a positive or a negative feedback using the feedback mechanism.

Abstract: A wearable device can be worn by a user, and can include one or more sensors to detect user gestures performed by the user. The wearable device can further include a wireless communication module to establish a communication link with a self-propelled device, and a controller that can generate control commands based on the user gestures. The control commands may be executable to accelerate and maneuver the self-propelled device. The controller may then transmit the control commands to the self-propelled device over the communication link for execution by the self-propelled device.
