Aria module will bring gesture control to Android Wear and Pebble Time

We’ve seen multiple different ways to smartwatch design over the past few years, with a few companies like Pebble using the button control route, while platforms like Android Wear count on touch and voice. Looking for a third option? Aria is surely an add-on module you clip to your Android Wear or Pebble Time watch, letting you control either of such platforms with assorted gestures.

So so how exactly does it work? The Aria measures the movement within your wrist, turning it into easy to take control of your watch for those moments if your other hand isn’t free for example when you are on the phone, drinking something, holding something — you get the idea. The only catch while using Aria is that it is the one other product that doesn’t exist yet, having a planned Kickstarter launch supposedly set for sometime in another few weeks. Once it hits on Kickstarter, the Aria will likely be available in two versions, one for Android Wear then one for Pebble Time.

The Pebble Time model is often a cheaper $69 unit that can connect instantly to the Pebble Time with the necessity for its own battery or Bluetooth connection. For Android Wear owners, an even more expensive $169 model will have a battery, Bluetooth, and any devices it needs to work with Android Wear. This model may also include a robust SDK and is also aimed primarily at developers. This more costly version may possibly also theoretically be generated to work with other watch platforms that support Bluetooth devices, like the Gear line.
