Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the use of a multi-segment wearable accessory. In this regard, methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for controlling and, in some instances, interacting with a multi-segment wearable accessory. In particular, a method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided that receive touch input via at least first and second segments of a multi-segment wearable accessory and determine that the touch input associated with the second segment is moving relative to the touch input associated with the first segment. A presentation of content displayed at least partially by the first segment may be modified based upon movement of the touch input associated with the second segment, such as in an expand operation, in which content is displayed on a second segment, or a collapse operation, in which content is removed from the second segment following an expand operation.
