We describe the design and development of a smartwatch applica-

tion to digitally augment common interactions in an o�ce envi-

ronment using forearm gestures.

• send “virtual knocks” to co-workers

• shows up on the co-worker’s smartwatch

• even when they are not there

• easy to deal with interruptions

Lock gesture

• virtually “lock” and “unlock” doors

• similar to turning a key

• identity tracked through smartwatch

• fine-grained access control

Return gesture

• return to the home screen

• back to room scanning functionality
