Abstract
Examples are disclosed herein that are related to providing extended functionalities on-demand to an audio-based wearable device. One example provides a wearable computing device including an acoustic receiver configured to receive speech inputs, a speaker configured to present audio outputs, a communications subsystem configured to connect to an external device, a logic subsystem configured to execute instructions, and a storage subsystem having instructions executable by the logic subsystem to execute a program, connect to the external device via a wireless communications protocol, conduct an audio-based interaction of the program via the speech inputs received at the acoustic receiver and the audio outputs provided by the speaker, upon reaching a screen-based interaction of the program, notify a user via the speaker to interact with the external device, and provide image data to the external device for presentation via a screen of the external device.
