Abstract: Systems and methods for using peripheral vision in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (collectively referred to as “xR”) applications are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: render an object in a peripheral field-of-view of a user; detect at least one of: the user's eye movement, or the user's head rotation; and determine whether to re-render the object based upon the detection.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for on-screen keyboard detection for multi-form factor Information Handling Systems (IHSs) are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: detect a keyboard using a magnetic sensor; and determine, in response to the detection, a position of the keyboard relative to a display surface of a second display, where the second display is coupled to a first display via a hinge.

Abstract: Systems and methods for transitioning between mixed, augmented, and/or virtual reality display modes. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: identify an event associated with presentation of an image produced by a display coupled to the processor, where the display is visible to a user's eyes, and the user is located in an environment; and control a transparency or translucency of a shutter layer disposed, at least in part, between the display and the environment.
