Abstract
A head-mounted device may be used with an external electronic device. One or more sensors on the head-mounted device may obtain sensor data that is used to determine whether the external electronic device is actively being viewed. When the external electronic device is actively being viewed, a notification may be presented on a display of the external electronic device. When the external electronic device is not actively being viewed, a notification may be presented on a display of the head-mounted device. An electronic device may determine whether a display in the electronic device is being viewed by one or more viewers. When the display is being viewed by more than one viewer, the electronic device may send an instruction to a head-mounted device to cause the head-mounted device to present a notification.
