1. An electronic device, comprising:
a communication device; and
one or more processors operable with the communication device;
the one or more processors causing, in response to the communication device detecting establishment of an electrical communication channel with a companion device, the communication device to query the companion device to determine whether the companion device is a projector, a monitor, or a wearable glass projection device; and
the one or more processors determining, in response to the communication device receiving extended display identification data (EDID) and an extension of the EDID in response to the query, whether the companion device is the projector, the monitor, or the wearable glass projection device by extracting a display size from the EDID and a field of view from the extension of the EDID.
