Electronic devices and corresponding methods for rendering content for a companion device

A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:

• establishing, with a communication device, a wireless electrical communication channel with a companion device;
• querying, with the communication device, the companion device for companion device type;
• receiving, with the communication device, one or more EDID extensions comprising one or more of a field of view, a pixel density, and/or an interpupillary distance;
• determining, with one or more processors operable with the communication device, that the companion device consists of a wearable glass projection device when the one or more of the field of view, the pixel density, and/or the interpupillary distance has a non-zero value;
• rendering, with the one or more processors, content for the wearable glass projection device using the one or more of the field of view, the pixel density, and/or the interpupillary distance has a non-zero value;
• and
• transmitting the content to the wearable glass projection device.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a wireless communication device;
• a non-transient memory device;
• and
• one or more processors operable with the wireless communication device and the non-transient memory device;
• the one or more processors identifying a companion device electronically in communication with the wireless communication device as being a wearable glass projection device when a received EDID extension from the companion device includes a non-zero field of view, pixel density, and/or interpupillary distance value, rendering content for the wearable glass projection device as a function of the non-zero field of view, pixel density, and/or interpupillary distance value, and applying a rendering adjustment to the content as a function of optical data associated with a user of the electronic device stored in the non-transient memory device.
