Abstract: A computing system is provided, including a first display device having a first hardware configuration including a first display and a second display device having a second hardware configuration different from the first hardware configuration and including a second display. The computing system may further include a processor configured to receive an input including instructions to launch an application program on the first display device. The application program may include application program hardware specifications indicating hardware used by the application program. Based on the first hardware configuration, the second hardware configuration, and the application program hardware specifications, the processor may be further configured to determine that the second hardware configuration matches the application program hardware specifications more closely than the first hardware configuration. The processor may be further configured to launch the application program on the second display device.

Abstract: A computing device is provided that includes a primary display and a secondary display operatively coupled to a processor. The processor may be configured to execute an application program that has a GUI with a single display mode and a selectively displayable multiple display mode. The multiple display mode may include at least a primary view and a secondary view. In a single display mode, the processor may be configured to initially display the GUI on the primary display and not display the GUI on the secondary display. Upon receiving a multidisplay command to display the GUI in the multiple display mode, the processor may transition the application to the multiple display mode in which the primary view is displayed on the primary display, and the secondary view is displayed on the secondary display.

Abstract: A hinged multi-screen computing device is provided that includes a housing having first and second parts coupled by a hinge, each part including a display, a sensor mounted in the housing and configured to detect a hinge angle between the first and second parts, and processor configured to render and display a three-dimensional representation of a virtual object on the first display, the three-dimensional view of the virtual object being rendered based upon the detected hinge angle.

Abstract: A field of view of a virtual environment is visually presented via a near-eye display from a first perspective. A begin-adjustment command is received. A peripheral region of the field of view that surrounds a wearer's gaze target is dimmed, via the near-eye display, based on the begin-adjustment command. A navigation command is received. The field of view of the virtual environment is adjusted from the first perspective to a second perspective based on the navigation command. An end-adjustment command is received. The peripheral region of the field of view is brightened, via the near-eye display, based on the end-adjustment command. The field of view of the virtual environment is visually presented, via the near-eye display, from the second perspective.
