1. An apparatus comprising:
a touch-sensitive display;
a feedback component configured to provide non-visual feedback; and
one or more processors that are operatively coupled to the touch-sensitive display and the feedback component and are communicatively coupled to a wearable device, the one or more processors configured to:
receive, from the wearable device, data indicating whether the apparatus is within a field of view of a camera of the wearable device or not; and
based on the data indicating whether the apparatus is within the field of view of the camera of the wearable device or not, switch between a first mode and a second mode, wherein in the first mode, the one or more processors are configured to convey one or more portions of a user interface to a user via the feedback component, wherein in the second mode, the one or more processors are configured to present the user interface on the touch-sensitive display of the apparatus without utilizing the feedback component of the apparatus, wherein the one or more processors are configured to switch to the second mode if the data indicates that the apparatus is within the field of view of the camera of the wearable device, and to switch to the first mode if the data indicates that the apparatus is outside the field of view of the camera of the wearable device.
