Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for changing a state of operation of a display system with respect to at least a portion of an image occluded by a non-display surface. In use, a display system is operated in a first state associated with an occlusion of at least a portion of an image resulting from a non-display surface associated with the display system. Additionally, independent of a control panel user interface, a command is received to operate the display system in a second state associated with the occlusion of the at least a portion of the image resulting from the non-display surface associated with the display system. Furthermore, in response to the command, the display system is operated in the second state associated with the occlusion of the at least a portion of the image resulting from the non-display surface associated with the display system.

Abstract: A method is enacted in a computer system operatively coupled to a hand-actuated input device. The method includes the action of determining automatically which form of user input to offer a process running on the computer system, the user input including position data from the input device. The method also includes the action of offering the position data to the process in the form determined.

Abstract: A technique of implementing on-screen gestures associated with a software application comprises receiving a first control input that relates to a first scene associated with the software application, translating the first control input into a first set of instructions based on a first mapping, and providing the first set of instructions to an operating system that includes the first set of instructions in the software application, receiving a second control input that relates to a second scene associated with the software application, translating the second control input into a second set of instructions based on a second mapping, and providing the second set of instructions to the operating system, wherein the operating system is configured to include the second set of instructions in the software application.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for adjusting a viewing experience associated with a display device. During use, a user interface capable of being used for adjusting the viewing experience associated with the display device is automatically displayed, in response to an event that potentially affects the viewing experience associated with the display device.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for utilizing natural motions of a user to display intuitively correlated reactions. In use, an application-independent command is received from an input device utilizing at least one natural motion of a user with an associated degree. In response to the application-independent command, a reaction is displayed on a display in a manner that is intuitively correlated with the at least one natural motion. Further, a degree of the reaction is a function of the degree of the at least one natural motion.
