1. A first user-wearable device for a personal computing system, said first user-wearable device comprising:
- a proximity sensor configured to detect a proximity parameter representative of a distance between said first user-wearable device and a second user-wearable device while the first and second user-wearable devices are worn by a user;
a first transceiver configured to send proximity information pertaining to said detected proximity parameter to a processing unit of a personal computing system associated with the user and to receive from said processing unit visual output generated based on said proximity information; and
a first display layer at least partially covering the proximity sensor and transceiver and configured to display said visual output to the user on the first user-wearable device.

7. A processing unit for a personal computing system, the processing unit configured to:
-
receive from a first user-wearable device proximity information pertaining to a detected proximity parameter representative of a distance between said first user-wearable device and a second user-wearable device while the first and second user-wearable devices are worn by a user; determine spatial information indicating a position and/or an orientation of at least a portion of the user, said portion relating to where said first user-wearable device is worn by the user, based on said received proximity information; and send visual output based on said spatial information to said first user-wearable device for display to the user on the first user-wearable device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 18, 19)
