Abstract: An improved graphical user interface (GUI) is disclosed herein. A computing device displays the GUI on a display. The GUI comprises a data element. The computing device receives a first indication that the data element has been selected within the GUI by a selection article. As the data element remains selected, the computing device receives a second indication that the selection article has been moved in a direction. As the data element remains selected, the computing device displays contextual data for the data element on the display. The contextual data displayed may be based upon the direction in which the selection article was moved. Responsive to receiving a third indication that the data element fails to remain selected by the selection article, the computing device removes the contextual data from the GUI.
Abstract: In a method for displaying items of information in a transportation device, the items of information are displayed in the form of hierarchical menu structures. A device for displaying items of information includes a control unit and a display unit for the stereoscopic and/or autostereoscopic display of items of information. In the method, the display is implemented stereoscopically, at least two different menus or menu items being displayed to the viewer at different distances. The instrument cluster includes the placement of a mask in front of the display of a display unit, the mask modifying the light emission of the light emitted by the display so as to result in a display of autostereoscopic images.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for presenting information and/or services to a user. One example method includes establishing a user session between a computing device operated by an entity and a first user device operated by a customer of the entity. The first user device provides a first interface through which the customer participates in the user session. The method also includes determining, based at least on a complexity of first information to be provided to the customer, to change the first interface to a new interface. Further, the method includes selecting, based on the complexity of the first information, a new interface, where the new interface is provided by at least a second user device. Furthermore, the method includes implementing the new interface to facilitate for the customer to participate in the user session.
Abstract: A system for managing incidents includes an electronic display, an electronic processor coupled to the electronic display, and memory coupled to the electronic processor and storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the electronic processor, cause the system to display an incident card on the electronic display, display first incident information on a front side of the incident card, receive a first user input indicating to flip to a back side of the incident card, determine user focus information, generate second incident information based on the user focus information, and display a back side of the card responsive to receiving the first user input. The back side includes the second incident information.
