During use the display screen of the touch display device is deactivated while the touch interface remains active. The wearable eye display device enables the touch display device to be used with greater privacy since the display screen is not observable to others while deactivated. In addition, power consumption is reduced since the touch display device consumes less power when viewing the display interface on the wearable eye display device instead of on the touch display device's larger display area.
