Abstract
A head-mounted device, such as augmented reality glasses, can be configured to track screen time. The head-mounted device can advantageously track screen time across a variety of devices whether or not they are configured to such measurements. Various modes for tracking the screen time may be used based on accuracy, power consumption, and privacy. The head-mounted device may track in a mode based on a battery level, a device setting or a user input. The head-mounted device may accumulate screen times in a database and in some implementations, can link screen times with devices in the database based on device information gathered by the head-mounted device during the tracking process. The head-mounted device may be configured to generate and display an alert based on one or more rules about screen time.
