Abstract

Techniques for data-capable band management in an integrated application and network communication data environment are described. In some examples, a first wearable device may transmit to a second wearable device a signal configured to initiate detection of a second sensory input to determine whether the second sensory input is equal to or greater than a threshold for an activity. A first sensory input is received from one or more sensors coupled to the first wearable device and compared to the threshold. A first parameter associated with the first sensory input, the first sensory input being equal to or greater than the threshold, is evaluated. A second parameter associated with the second sensory input, the second sensory input being equal to or greater than the threshold, is received from the second wearable device. The first parameter and the second parameter are displayed on a user interface.
