  • Publication number: 20210232300
    Abstract: User interactions with information handling systems can be improved by providing real-time feedback to the user during use of an application on the information handling system. A user's focused attention can be determined and the user interface elements in an application window be customized to the user. The user's focus attention thus changes the display of user interface elements on the screen. Using such a technique, user interface elements of lower importance can be de-emphasized or removed from the application window, which improves the user's access to user interface elements of greater importance.

  • Publication number: 20210113922
    Abstract: User interactions with information handling systems can be improved by providing real-time feedback to the user during use of an application on the information handling system. Lighting effects may be defined for application events and those lighting effects executed to provide the user with visual feedback that notifies the user of the application events. In one example involving a computer game, a user playing a computer game on an information handling system may be playing a character with an associate health bar. The amount of health in the health bar may increase or decrease during gameplay, and a lighting effect may be used as feedback to indicate to the user the application events corresponding to the increase or decrease of the character's health.
