Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for alerting a user of a wearable device to adjust the position of the device are provided. An example method includes receiving environment data from a wearable device sensor, wherein the wearable device is mountable on an arm of the user and directed toward a hand of the user, the environment data including a representation of a calibrating object and a target machine-readable code having a determinable size. The example method further decodes the target machine-readable code. Additionally, the example method determines a position of the wearable device on the arm of the user based on the size of the calibrating object and the size of the target machine-readable code. The example method alerts the user to adjust the position of the wearable device when the position of the wearable device relative to the calibrating object exceeds a predetermined threshold.
