Position-based switch of display devices

A computing device comprising:

• a display device to render display data;
• a wireless communication device to transmit and receive wireless signals with an augmented reality (AR) device comprising an AR display device;
• and
• a processor to:
• determine a position of the AR device relative to the computing device based on the wireless signals communicated with the AR device;
• and
• switch an activity state of the display device based on the determined position of the AR device relative to the computing device,
• wherein in response to determining that the position of the AR device is within a threshold position, the processor is to:
• switch ON the display device;
• and
• send an instruction to the AR device to switch OFF the AR display device.

A system comprising:

• an augmented reality (AR) device, comprising:
• an AR display device;
• and
• a first wireless communication device to transmit and receive wireless signals;
• and
• a computing device, comprising:
• a display device to render display data;
• a second wireless communication device to transmit and receive wireless signals with the AR device;
• and
• a processor to:
• determine a distance of the AR device from the computing device based on the wireless signals;
• determine an angle of the AR device relative to the computing device based on the wireless signals;
• and
• switch an activity state of the display device and the AR display device based on the determined distance and the angle of the AR device relative to the computing device,
• wherein in response to determining that the distance of the AR device is within a threshold distance and the angle of the AR device is within a threshold angle, the processor is to:
• switch ON the display device;
• and
• send an instruction to the AR device to switch OFF the AR display device.
