AI clothing APIs: build around the sensor, not the slogan
Turn a smart garment concept into a clear sensor contract, with practical checks for calibration, fit, connectivity, and model provenance.
WEAR API LAB / CATEGORY
Developer guides to smart watches, smart rings, heart rate monitors, and sensor-equipped smart clothing.
The shape of a wearable changes the engineering questions you need to ask. A watch supports interactions during an activity; a ring may supply account-based summaries; a connected garment introduces placement and calibration decisions. A heart rate monitor can present a nearby sensor protocol with its own payload structure. These device guides keep those differences visible.
Use this collection to learn what to verify before promising compatibility. Identify the available developer surface, the actual measurements, the meaning of timestamps, and any signals that describe data availability. Then test a representative device through connection loss and ordinary use. The goal is a product experience that accurately reflects the source’s capabilities, whether you are building a single-device prototype or adding another category to an existing application.
Turn a smart garment concept into a clear sensor contract, with practical checks for calibration, fit, connectivity, and model provenance.
Separate daily sleep scores from recorded sleep periods, then design a sync process and interface that preserve what the ring actually reports.
Move from raw sensor access to a useful watch workout with explicit capabilities, session ownership, durable records, and recovery tests.
Walk through a real packet shape, convert RR intervals correctly, and keep sensor state, connection state, and displayed heart rate distinct.
