A method for controlling a head mounted display (HMD) system that includes a microdisplay, a user input device, a first processor, and two or more other peripheral circuits comprising:
- enabling only the first processor and user input device in a first state;
- detecting a user input;
- using the processor to interpret the user input as a spoken command or gesture command;
- and
- entering a second state wherein a selected ones of the two or more other peripherals are enabled and other peripherals are disabled, depending upon the spoken command or gesture command.
