Abstract: A system and method for utilizing a gesture-based user interface. A system includes an operator input device and a processor. The operator input device detects gestures and multiple simultaneous touch points. An input area of the operator input device includes a plurality of gesture detection zones. The processor is coupled to the operator input device. The processor executes a gesture recognition software program that processes inputs from the input device. The gesture recognition program causes the processor to recognize a primary gesture and a simultaneous secondary gesture, and to perform a processing function based, at least in part, on the primary gesture and a gesture detection zone in which the secondary gesture is detected.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a multi-display hinge assembly. According to one embodiment, the multi-display hinge assembly includes a first housing and second housing in addition to a hinge that rotatably connects the first housing with the second housing. Still further, a coupling element is configured to join an edge of the first housing with an edge of the second housing when the first housing and the second housing are placed along the same plane.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for skipping through electronic content displayed on an electronic device having a touchscreen display coupled to a processing engine. According to one embodiment, a multi-touch gesture is received from a user. Based on the user's multi-touch gesture, electronic content associated with digital media immediately advances to a subsequent section or immediately reverses back to a previous section of the digital media.

Abstract: Image display systems and methods are provided. A plurality of pixel groups, each including a plurality of independent pixels, forms a display. A plurality of lenses (1251-N) forming an optical array and aligned along at least one axis (130), can be disposed proximate the display. Each of the plurality of lenses can provide a limited viewing arc (1501-N) for each of the plurality of independent pixels. A sample system can also include a detector (160) to detect the presence and location of a first user (165) and a second user (170) and logic (175), that when executed by a processor (180) coupled to the display, routes a first display signal (1451) based upon the viewing arc of a first portion of pixels; and routes a second display signal (1452) based upon the viewing arc of a second portion of pixels.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to display device having a first display plane, a second display lane, and a curved area between the first and second display planes. The first and second planes and the curved area form a continuous display surface having four edges. Only three of the four edges are viewable by a user when viewing one of the first and second display planes.

Abstract: Detect a head position of a user viewing a display device with a sensor, determine a duration of the user viewing the display device, identify a user fatigue in response to the head position, and provide a response to the user with the display device based on the user fatigue and the duration of the user viewing the display device.

Abstract: Technologies, systems, and methods for exploring a virtual space without cluttering or obscuring a field of view of the virtual space with overlaid names, labels, symbols, markers, and the like. Instead, a user may select objects of interest presented in a context bar to locate them in the field of view. Further, the user can make use of various forms of selection to zoom in on objects or points in the field of view and access information regarding the virtual space and objects without adding persistent clutter to the field of view.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to displaying private user content (420) of a first user (430) on a large interactive display (410) of a multi-user interface. The visibility of the private user content is obstructed based on identifying a second user (440).

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to augmenting user interface elements of a large interactive display. A user interface element displayed on a region of interest of the large interactive display is determined. A location of the user interface element is augmented based on timing information.

Abstract: A method for displaying data on a large interactive device is provided. The method can include detecting a cupped hands gesture including a first cupped hand and a second cupped hand proximate a LID display surface. The method can further include altering a first display parameter of a display object proximate the cupped hands gesture in response to the detection of the cupped hand gesture.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to user interface presentation based on position information. A position of a user of a multi-user interface is detected. A portion of the multi-user interface is provisioned for the user based on the position.

Abstract: Audio capture systems and methods applicable to large interactive device (LID) are provided. An audio capture method can include relating captured ambient audio provided by a first user with media presented to the first user via the LID. The method can also include indicating related media displayed on the LID based upon an audio input provided by the first user.
