The Wearable Series (WS) is Zebra's line of Android-based wearable enterprise computers, which deliver all the key features of Zebra full-size mobile computers in wristwatch-sized form factor. Because of their compact size, Zebra provides special guidelines for app development and administration of these highly specialized devices. The ZebraWakeWord service provides APIs to enable third-party apps to receive wakeword-detection callbacks and audio voice-command data. The programmer's guides linked below document app development using these APIs.
