1. A method comprising:
- an accelerometer system determining a user activity of a user wearing a wearable computing device;
based on the user activity determined by the accelerometer system, selecting a user interface for the wearable computing device such that the user interface is appropriate for the determined user activity;
wherein, if the user activity comprises traveling upstairs, the selected user interface comprises a display interface area where the display interface area is, compared to a standard display interface area, shifted towards a top of a display screen of the wearable computing device; and
wherein, if the user activity comprises traveling downstairs, the selected user interface comprises a display interface area where the display interface area is, compared to a standard display interface area, shifted towards a bottom of a display screen of the wearable computing device.
