A wearable device can be attached to a particular bodily part of a user. For example, the wearable device can be strapped to one upper limb from among the left and right upper limbs of the user. The wearable device includes a display configured to display images; a muscle activity detector coming in contact with the concerned upper limb, the muscle activity detector configured to detect muscle activity of the concerned upper limb; and a controller configured to detect a bodily motion of the concerned upper limb based on the detected muscle activity, and configured to make the display to perform a predetermined display operation in response to the bodily motion.
