Abstract: A head-mounted device may be used to perform a visual search on a physical environment around the head-mounted device. A user may wish to visually search one out of multiple physical objects in the physical environment. To clearly show the user which physical object was the target of a visual search, the head-mounted device may present a thumbnail of the candidate physical object on a display. The thumbnail may be cropped and/or zoomed using an image from a camera on the head-mounted device. By displaying a thumbnail that is taken by a camera on the head-mounted device, the thumbnail will directly match the physical object in the user's physical environment, eliminating ambiguity regarding which physical object is the subject of the visual search.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may be used to control one or more external electronic devices. Gaze input and camera images may be used to determine a point of gaze relative to a display for an external electronic device. The external electronic device may receive information regarding the user's gaze input from the head-mounted device and may highlight one out of multiple user interface elements that is targeted by the gaze input. The head-mounted device may receive input such as keystroke information from an accessory device and relay the input to an external electronic device that is being viewed. The head-mounted device may receive a display configuration request, determine layout information for displays in the physical environment of the head-mounted device, and transmit the layout information to an external device associated with the displays.
