Case Study

How RotationKit Powered Wristruments' Award-Winning UX

Wristruments eliminated wrist-angle display friction and unlocked immersive, motion-aware music learning—powered by RotationKit's patented SDK.

"It's like the UI knows exactly where your eyes are going to be."

Learning Guitar Meant Choosing:
Watch Your Hands
or
Watch the Screen

Neck strain. Broken flow. Constant back-and-forth between tablet and fretboard. Smartwatches put the screen exactly where it needed to be—but a static UI made it invisible.

What

RotationKit

Unlocked

Orientation-Aware Display

Instructions that rotate with the wrist—so users don't have to.

While playing, the interface automatically adjusts to stay legible from any wrist angle. No twisting, no pausing—just glance and play. It frees users from choosing between screen and instrument, unlocking true hands-free interaction.

Orientation-Aware Display
Always Aligned
Motion-Linked Visual Sync
Follows Your Frets

Motion-Linked Visual Sync

Auto-scrolling fretboard that moves with your hand.

Partnership Feature Development

As the user shifts hand position, the fretboard scrolls automatically—tracking motion in real time. It's the first smartwatch display that adapts to your playing, not the other way around. No swipes. No taps. Just play.

More Practice. Better Flow. Real Feedback.
