Alex on Developing for the Apple Watch

Alex Vollmer, A New Future?:

This is going to sound funny, but I think the tactile pulsing feature of the Apple Watch is one of its most intriguing. It got me thinking about how, paired with the right software, it could be a fantastic way to teach a wearer certain timing-related skills…

As a musician, that pulsing action might make for a great silent metronome. Instead of playing along with a monotonous click, you could simply time your playing with the watch’s pulse. Music teachers always talk about “feeling the groove,” this would make it a literal reality.
