    Abstract: Example implementations relate to cursor adjustments. In some examples, a computing device may include a cursor positioning device. The computing device may include a processor to determine a first input associated with a first cursor path received from the cursor positioning device. The computing device may include a processor to determine a modified output of the first cursor path that is different from the first input. The computing device may include a processor to determine a second cursor path based on the modified output. The computing device may include a processor to determine an adjustment based on a difference between the first cursor path and the second cursor path. The computing device may include a processor to apply the adjustment to a third cursor path.

  • Patent number: 11480790
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to display adjustments. For example, a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to sense a contour of an object using a sensor of a display. The instructions can cause the processing resource to determine a contour of a perimeter of the display that fits a portion of the shape of the object. The instructions can cause the processing resource to adjust the perimeter of the display to the determined contour of the perimeter via an actuator of the display.

  • Publication number: 20210033760
    Abstract: A mirror may include a display adjacent one side of a half-mirror to present content and a controller. The controller is coupled to the display to determine, from biometric information acquired from a sensor, a focal distance of a user facing an opposite side of the half-mirror, present content on the mirror in a first manner and a reflection of the user in a second manner in response to the focal distance corresponding to the display, and present the content on the mirror in a third manner, different than the first manner, and the reflection of the user in a fourth manner, different than the third manner, in response to the focal distance corresponding to the reflection of the user.

  • Patent number: 10877647
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to virtual reality/augmented reality signals. For example, a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to receive eye-tracking signals from a camera mounted on a display. The instructions can cause the processing resource to estimate a location on a display using the eye-tracking signals. The instructions can cause the processing resource to receive electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. The instructions can cause the processing resource to confirm the estimated location based on the eye-tracking signals and the EEG signals.

  • Patent number: 10845511
    Abstract: In one example, a smart mirror. The smart mirror includes a display adjacent one side of a half-mirror, sensors to acquire biometric information of a user facing an opposite side of the half-mirror, and a controller coupled to the sensors and the display. The controller determines from the biometric information a focal distance of the user. If the focal distance corresponds to the display, the controller presents a user interface on the smart mirror in a highly-visible manner and a reflection of the user in a less-visible manner. If the focal distance corresponds to the reflection of the user, the controller presents the user interface on the smart mirror in a less-visible manner and the reflection of the user in a highly-visible manner.

  • Publication number: 20200117286
    Abstract: Example implementations relate adjusting cursor positioning. In some examples, a system may include a cursor positioning device in communication with a computing device. The computing device may be to predict an intended cursor destination based on a detected eye position. The computing device may be to determine a difference between the intended cursor destination and a displayed cursor position resulting from a cursor positioning signal received from the cursor positioning device. The computing device may be to adjust a setting of the computing device to adjust a subsequent cursor positioning signal such that a subsequent displayed cursor position is within a threshold distance from a subsequent intended cursor destination.
