  • Patent number: 11832030
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus according to various embodiments disclosed in the disclosure may comprise: a first housing rotatable about a first axis; a projector module coupled to a portion of the first housing and rotatable about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis; a vision sensor module rotatable about the first axis; a second housing; a first driving device disposed inside the first housing and capable of transmitting power to each of the projector module and the first housing; and a second driving device disposed inside the second housing and capable of transmitting power to the vision sensor module. According to the various embodiments, the projector module can rotate independently of the first housing in the direction of the second axis, and the vision sensor module can rotate independently of the first housing in the direction of the first axis.

  • Patent number: 11294452
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a sensor, a display, a processor operatively coupled to the sensor and the display, and a memory operatively coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to identify a first body part of a user based on the at least one sensor, identify a virtual region spaced apart by a designated distance from the first body part, based on the identified first body part, identify a second body part distinct from the first body part within the virtual region, based on the at least one sensor, and change at least part of content displayed on the display based on a position of the second body part within the virtual region.
