This paper proposes a wearable audio book application using two wearable devices, a smartwatch and a hearables. We review requirements of what could be a killer wearable application and design our application based on these elicited requirements. To distinguish our application, we present 7 scenarios and introduce several wearable interaction modalities. To show feasibility of our approach, we design and implement our proof-of-concept prototype on Android emulator as well as on a commercial smartwatch. We thoroughly address how different interaction modalities are designed and implemented in the Android platform. Lastly, we show latency of the multi-modal and alternative interaction modalities that can be gracefully handled in wearable audio application use cases.
