Abstract: Approaches enable three-dimensional (3D) display and interaction with interfaces (such as a webpage, an application, etc.) when the device is operating in a 3D view mode. For example, interface elements can be highlighted, emphasized, animated, or otherwise altered in appearance, and/or arrangement in the renderings of those interfaces based at least in part on an orientation of the device or a position of a user using the device. Further, the 3D view mode can provide for an animated 3D departure and appearance of elements as the device navigates from a current page to a new page. Further still, approaches provide for the ability to specify 3D attributes (such as the appearance, action, etc.) of the interface elements. In this way, a developer of such interfaces can use information (e.g., tags, CSS, JavaScript, etc.) to specify a 3D appearance change to be applied to at least one interface element when the 3D view mode is activated.

In the computer system, the at least one response option may include a plurality of response options and the assessment component may be configured to calculate an overall score based on the plurality of response options.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for scaling and translating gestures such that the applicable gestures for control may vary depending on the user's distance from a gesture-based system. The techniques for scaling and translation may take the varying distances from which a user interacts with components of the gesture-based system, such as a computing environment or capture device, into consideration with respect to defining and/or recognizing gestures. In an example embodiment, the physical space is divided into virtual zones of interaction, and the system may scale or translate a gesture based on the zones. A set of gesture data may be associated with each virtual zone such that gestures appropriate for controlling aspects of the gesture-based system may vary throughout the physical space.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, a touch-sensitive surface, one or more processors, and memory storing one or more programs. The device displays a first user interface of a hierarchy of user interfaces of a software application associated with first and second pan gesture recognizers. The first pan gesture recognizer is configured to recognize a pan gesture that has an initial direction along a first axis and/or a first direction. The second pan gesture recognizer is configured to recognize a pan gesture that has an initial direction along a second axis and/or a second direction distinct from the first direction. The device detects a first pan gesture in an initial direction across the touch-sensitive surface while displaying the first user interface. The device identifies a pan gesture recognizer configured to recognize the first pan gesture, and processes the first pan gesture using the identified pan gesture recognizer.

Abstract: Methods of performing operations on a processor of an electronic device include establishing a programmatic association in a one-to-one relationship between mathematical operators and directions of movement that a user can make when selecting number keys among an arrangement of number keys. A first number is received from a user selection of a first number key, and a second number is received from a user selection of a second number key. A first direction of user movement from the first number key to the second number key is determined, and a first mathematical operator is selected among the mathematical operators that is programmatically associated with the first direction. The first and second numbers are combined using the first mathematical operator to generate an output number, and the output number is provided to a secure program to control user access to a protected operation of the secure program.

Abstract: A system determines measured patient values for use in clinical calculations using an electronic form including, a first area including data fields for presenting values of the parameters associated with a first part of a cardiac catheterization study of a patient and a second area including data fields for presenting values of the parameters associated with a different second part of a cardiac catheterization study of the patient. A user interface enables a user to copy at least one of the parameters comprising a measured value from the first area to the second area as a substitute value eliminating a need for a re-measurement of the value. A calculation processor automatically calculates a cardiac flow value for incorporation in the second area in response to the measured value being copied into the second area.
