Hi Burf,

Great demo!

Can you explain your setup a bit more? I reckon the Apple watch communicates with an App running on your iPhone and your iPhone is connected to the EV3 unit?

Will you be making another demo, using the Apple Watch's Gyro Sensor?

Very cool model! As for the watch...I cannot help but think another watch would have provided 2X the value...unless your company gave them to you

Please, no "Apple vs ..." discussions here.

Hi all :)

So, yes the Apple watch does need charging every day, I also have a Pebble Steel (I should hook that up to my robot) and I feel that is more solid in many ways (waterproof, battery, connection) however its not as pretty! The watch is still very nice!

Currently you have NO access to any apple watch hardware sensors, developing for the apple watch is pretty limited at the mo compared to normal dev (no subclassing, no custom controls, no hardware access, no gestures)

All code that you write for the Apple Watch actually runs on the watch.

...runs on the phone? Or do you really mean watch?

Anyone else done any EV3 with wearables?

Very cool. I did not expect hacks involving EV3 and the Apple Watch to appear so quickly.

FYI I followed the links in your signature, hoping to read more about this project, but http://www.burf.org.uk/ currently says "This Account Has Been Suspended".

Does a head mounted display qualify as a wearable ?

Site fixed, sorry for the delay. I am now building a Apple Watch controllable tank
