Abstract: An electronic device includes a wireless communication device, a non-transient memory device, and one or more processors operable with the wireless communication device and the non-transient memory device. The one or more processors identify a companion device electronically in communication with the wireless communication device as being a wearable glass projection device when a received extended display identification (EDID) extension(s) from the companion device include a non-zero field of view, pixel density, and/or interpupillary distance value. The one or more processors can render content for the wearable glass projection device as a function of the non-zero field of view, pixel density, and/or interpupillary distance value, and can optionally apply a rendering adjustment to the content as a function of optical data associated with a user of the electronic device stored in the non-transient memory device.

Abstract: A computing device includes multiple camera systems each having one or both of a different field of view or a focus range. For example, the computing device may include a telephoto camera system, a wide angle camera system, an ultra-wide angle camera system, and a macro camera system. When a camera application is running, the scenes from each of the multiple cameras are automatically analyzed to determine whether a barcode (e.g., a 1-dimensional barcode or a 2-dimensional barcode, also referred to as a QR code) is included in one of the scenes. If a barcode is included in the scene from a particular camera system, that camera system is selected and one or more actions are taken (e.g., the barcode is displayed by the computing device, information embedded in the barcode is displayed, and so forth).

Abstract: Techniques for lock state based on a trigger condition are described and may be implemented to transition a mobile device to a locked state based on various conditions. For instance, a mobile device receives transmission of cloud content and transmits the cloud content to a connected remote display device for output. A trigger condition occurs based on the transmission of the cloud content, such as a decrease in data transmission related to the cloud content. The mobile device can transition to a locked state based at least in part on the trigger condition.

Abstract: An electronic device, computer program product, and method enable presentation of age-appropriate augmented reality (AR) content by determining an age of wearer of an AR display device. The electronic device communicatively connects an electronic device to the AR display device. In response to determining that the electronic device is communicatively coupled to the AR display, a controller of the electronic device monitors or checks for information that indicates, or correlates to, an age of a person wearing the first AR display device being below a threshold age. In response to receiving information indicating that the person is below the threshold age, the controller selects customized AR content, customized for the person based on the age of the person and any identified personal preferences of the person. The controller presents, at the AR display device, the customized AR content, customized based on the age of the person.

Abstract: Techniques for controller graphical user interface based on interaction data are described and are implementable to generate a controller graphical user interface for display by a first device to control digital content displayed on a second device. For instance, an application such as a mobile gaming application is displayed on a mobile device and digital content from the application is communicated for display by a display device as part of a content connectivity session. One or more control regions of the application are determined based on a monitored interaction with a user interface of the mobile device. One or more control graphics are identified that correlate to the one or more control regions. A controller graphical user interface is generated that displays the one or more control graphics and filters out extraneous digital content. The controller graphical user interface is then displayed by the mobile device.
