  • Publication number: 20260141664
    Abstract: A wearable device may include: a display; a camera; at least one sensor; a memory for storing instructions; and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to, when the instructions are executed, display a first screen related to a first virtual space while the display mode of the display is in a first display mode. The at least one processor may be configured to, when the instructions are executed, identify information about an external environment in which the wearable device is located. The at least one processor may be configured to, when the instructions are executed, identify that the display mode of the display is changed from the first display mode to a second display mode. The at least one processor may be configured to identify a second screen related to a second virtual space according to the second display mode.

  • Publication number: 20260059588
    Abstract: A wearable device, can display a first visual object corresponding to an external object on a display. The wearable device can: identify, based on the direction of a gaze toward the first visual object, indicated by sensor data of a sensor, a motion of the external object using a camera; establish a communication link with at least one external electronic device capable of tracking the external object identified based on the motion; and acquire information about the external object from the at least one external electronic device through the communication link based on identifying that the display of the first visual object is stopped after the communication link is established, and display, on the display based on the acquired information, a second visual object related to the external object.
