    Abstract: A head-mounted device may be paired with an external electronic device such as a cellular telephone. The head-mounted device may be used to perform visual searches. In some cases, a user provides input directly to the head-mounted device to trigger a visual search and the visual search is performed without any input or communication from the external electronic device. Alternatively, the external electronic device may be used to trigger a visual search performed by the head-mounted device, may serve as an optical marker to indicate a target region for the physical search, and/or may present content associated with the visual search performed by the head-mounted device. The external electronic device may use sensor data to detect a user's intent for a visual search and wirelessly transmit a visual search trigger to the head-mounted device.
