A camera device for integration into a wearable device is presented. The camera device includes an image sensor, a lens assembly, a first high density interconnect (HDI) tape substrate, a second HDI tape substrate, and a molded plastic layer. The molded plastic layer is sandwiched between the first and second HDI tape substrates. A wearable device with at least one soft electrode is further presented. The at least one soft electrode includes a conductive coating applied to an elastomer substrate and monitors electrical signals generated by a wearer of the wearable device to initiate an appropriate action. A method of forming an aggregate coating for a wearable device is further presented. One or more thin films are applied to a surface of the wearable device, and a paint coating is applied to a surface of the one or more thin films to form the aggregate coating.
