Abstract: An input device for providing user input to a computing device includes a seat portion allowing a user to sit on the device. The input device further includes several positional sensors that detect changes in pitch, yaw and roll and convert those detected changes to a control signal for operating functions on a computing device and/or providing input to applications running on the computing device.

Abstract: In at least some embodiments, a computer system includes a processor and a storage device coupled to the processor. The storage device stores a program that, when executed, causes the processor to generate information for social overlay visualization based on dynamic visual signals.

Abstract: Products and/or services can be marketed in ways that allow configuration or selection of components, features or other attributes for which corresponding branding identities may be associated. In relation to such products, it has been discovered that consumers respond favorably to visually interconnected presentation of brands in which attributes of integration, optimization and/or coherence of a platform solution are suggested. Indeed, some visually interconnected presentations have been found to present a brand ecosystem in which the overall favorable impression of consumers is enhanced beyond that might otherwise be expected based on the individual brands or even the collection of individual brands when presented together, but without visual interconnection.
