1. An augmented reality (AR) electronic device comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the AR electronic device to perform operations comprising:
entering a reading mode;
capturing a first image of a section of reading material, the section comprising a first page;
providing an augmented reality object related to an object depicted in the section of reading material;
in response to entering a sleep mode for a sleep duration,
causing wireless communication processing circuitry of the AR electronic device to enter a lower-energy consumption mode,
causing camera hardware of the AR electronic device to enter a lower-energy consumption mode, and
causing display hardware of the AR electronic device to enter a lower-energy consumption mode, wherein the sleep duration is based on an estimated reading time duration of the section of the reading material for a user;
reentering the reading mode after the sleep duration;
capturing a second image;
identifying a second page within the second image;
increasing the sleep duration when the first page and the second page are a same page; and
decreasing the sleep duration when the first page and the second page are different pages.
