Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a first wearable device and a second wearable device in proximity of a display device and identifying a first user profile associated with the first wearable device and a second user profile associated with the second wearable device. Further aspects may include identifying a first set of media content preferences according to the first user profile and a second set of media content preferences according to the second user profile. Additional aspects may include providing a first filtered electronic programming guide to the first wearable device and providing a second filtered electronic programming guide to the second wearable device. The first filtered electronic programming guide indicates the first set of media content preferences and the second filtered electronic programming guide indicates the second set of media content preferences. Other embodiments are disclosed.
