Abstract
A head-mounted device may determine contextual information by analyzing sensor data. The head-mounted device may use computer vision analysis to determine contextual information from images of the physical environment around the head-mounted device. Instead or in addition, the head-mounted device may determine contextual information by receiving state information directly from external equipment within the physical environment. Based on the received state information, the head-mounted device may display content, play audio, change a device setting on the head-mounted device, the external equipment, and/or additional external equipment, and/or may open an application. The head-mounted device may receive the state information in accordance with identifying the external equipment in images of the physical environment. The head-mounted device may receive the state information and then obtain and analyze sensor data to determine contextual information in response to the received state information being insufficient.
