Abstract: Disclosed is a display apparatus and a method of indicating a level of immersion of the user. The display apparatus comprises: at least one image renderer for rendering an image; a see-through arrangement for projecting a real world image upon user's eyes; at least one optical combiner for optically combining a projection of the rendered image with a projection of the real world image to create a visual scene; means for detecting a gaze-direction of the user; a visual indicator for indicating a level of immersion of the user when the display apparatus is in use, and positioned on an outer side of the display apparatus; and a processor configured to generate a drive signal for the visual indicator, based upon at least one of: the gaze direction of the user, a current mode of operation of the display apparatus, and to control the visual indicator via the drive signal.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for generating a projected user interface. The apparatus may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to receive information regarding a detected position of the user's body and to determine whether the detected position is an activation position, in which case the projection of a user interface may be provided. The user interface may be projected on an area on the user's body, such as a hand or a forearm, or on the surface of an object. The activation position may thus be a predefined position of the user's body in which effective projection of the user interface onto the surface and user interaction with the user interface is facilitated.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for recording media events. In particular, the apparatus includes a processor and a memory including computer program code that are configured to cause the apparatus to identify a party to the media event and access authorization data associated with the party. The authorization data may indicate whether the party consents to the recording of the party's participation in the media event and, if so, under what circumstances. Location data may also be accessed regarding the location of the party, and the location data may also be considered. In this way, the determination of whether the party's voice or image may be recorded can be based on the explicit consent of the party, the legal jurisdiction in which the media event takes place, the location or environment of the media event, or a combination of one or more of these factors.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for distributively managing content between multiple user devices through the use of collaborative public display regions and/or designated private display regions. The apparatus may include a processor and a memory including computer program code. The memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to receive information regarding a detected device, provide for projection of a collaborative public display region that is shared with the detected device, receive input via a user's interaction with the collaborative public display region, and provide for transfer of the content based on the input received. Where a designated private display region is provided, input via a user's interaction with the designated private display region may be received, and the content may be displayed in the collaborative public display region based on the input received.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer program product for providing input to a user device by way of a device that is worn by a user. The method including receiving sensor information of a device configured to be worn by a user, determining a motion input indicated by the received information such that the motion input relates to motion of the device relative to the user, determining a function based at least in part on the motion input, and causing the function to be performed. The device may be configured to be worn on a device bearing part of the user and the motion input may relate to motion of the device relative to the device bearing part of the user. The device bearing part of the user may be a finger and the device may substantially encircle the finger.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer program product for providing input to a user device by way of a device that is worn by a user. The method including receiving sensor information of a device configured to be worn by a user, determining a first touch input indicated by the received first sensor information, where the first touch input relates to a first touch type, determining a first function based at least in part on the first touch input, causing the first function to be performed, receiving second sensor information of the device configured to be worn by a user, determining a second touch input indicated by the received second sensor information, where the second touch input relates to a second touch type that is different than the first touch type, determining a second function based at least in part on the second touch input, where the second function is different from the first function, and causing the second function to be performed.
