Abstract
Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for selectively activating and suspending control of a graphical user interface by two or more electronic devices. A portable eyewear device includes a display projected onto at least one lens assembly and a primary touchpad through which the user may access a graphical user interface (GUI) on the display. A handheld accessory device, such as a ring, includes an auxiliary touchpad that is configured to emulate the primary touchpad. The eyewear processor temporarily suspends inputs from one touchpad when it detects an activation signal from the other touchpad.
