    I'm currently building an android app with Unity and would like to get workout data like heartrate from a connected android watch that is running wear OS 3 operating system. Is there an easy way to do this? What is a good method for achieving this?

    Not yet, but we'll be focusing on this task in the upcoming couple of weeks. Hoping someone has some info for us before we get started.

    I don't think Unity directly supports WearOS, if it works - it works, if it doesn't, I am not sure if bug reports will be accepted.


    Regarding heartrate, Unity doesn't directly supports this sensor, but Unity should report data for it. Check this - https://github.com/Unity-Technologi...InputSystem/Plugins/Android/AndroidSensors.cs

    Assuming, you're using new input system, you'll need to create AndroidHeartRate sensor with variant 'HeartRate',

    then you'll need to register the layout

    Code (CSharp):
    1.             InputSystem.RegisterLayout<AndroidHeartRater>(
    2.                 matches: new InputDeviceMatcher()
    3.                     .WithInterface("Android")
    4.                     .WithDeviceClass("AndroidSensor")
    5.                     .WithCapability("sensorType", AndroidSensorType.HeartRate));
    Alternatively, try submitting a bug, about missing heart rate sensor, but it might take a while to fix it.
