Abstract
A wearable computing device includes a body, a first sensor disposed at an upper part of the body, and a second sensor disposed at a lower part of the body. The first sensor detects ambient light in a surrounding environment of the wearable computing device and the second sensor includes one or more light sources and one or more detectors, the one or more light sources emitting light toward a body part of a user when the wearable computing device is worn by the user, and the one or more detectors receiving a reflection of the light emitted toward the body part to generate a signal indicating a biometric of the user. The wearable computing device further includes one or more processors which adjust a current supplied to the one or more light sources based on an amount of ambient light detected by the first sensor.
