20130258089 | Eye Gaze Based Image Capture - Gaze detection technology may be used to aim aimable optics on an imaging device. As a result, the user need not do anything more to direct the camera's line of sight than to look at something. In some embodiments, the camera may then adjust the focus and exposure based on the gaze target. In addition, the camera may keep track of how long the user looks at a given area within a scene and, if a time threshold is exceeded, the camera may zoom in to that gaze target. | 10-03-2013 |
20130259312 | Eye Gaze Based Location Selection for Audio Visual Playback - In response to the detection of what the user is looking at on a display screen, the playback of audio or visual media associated with that region may be modified. For example, video in the region the user is looking at may be sped up or slowed down. A still image in the region of interest may be transformed into a moving picture. Audio associated with an object depicted in the region of interest on the display screen may be activated in response to user gaze detection. | 10-03-2013 |
20130271454 | Interactive Screen Viewing - The presentation of a computer display may be modified based on what the user is viewing on the display. In one embodiment, gaze detection technology may be used to determine what the user is looking at. Based on what the user is looking at, the display may be altered to either improve or degrade the display at the region the user is looking at. | 10-17-2013 |
20130318458 | Modifying Chrome Based on Ambient Conditions - In accordance with some embodiments, the depiction of chrome in user interfaces may be modified based on ambient conditions. There are a number of ambient conditions that can be used as a trigger to modify the chrome. For example, the current direction from which light hits the computer may be used to change the chrome shadow depictions on user selectable image elements, such as button icons. | 11-28-2013 |

20140159873 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING A RFID TAG TO INITIATE VOICE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN AN AUTOMOBILE AND A BUILDING OF A BUSINESS - Systems and methods are described herein for establishing voice communications between a business in a building and a customer m an automobile. The communications link may use radio frequency identification, tags to establish communication capabilities. Then a FM radio voice communications channel may be opened between the building and the radio in the automobile. The business and the customer may discuss and complete a transaction over the voice communications link. | 06-12-2014 |
20140267001 | TECHNIQUES FOR AUTOMATED EVALUATION OF 3D VISUAL CONTENT - Various embodiments are generally directed to automatically observing reactions of viewers of 2D and 3D versions of the same visual content, and comparing aspects of those observations for indications of fatigue in the viewing of the 3D version. An apparatus includes a processor element; and logic to compare a first ROI (region of interest) data associated with a first viewer of a first visual presentation of a 2D (two-dimensional) version of visual content to a second ROI data associated with a second viewer of a second visual presentation of a 3D (three-dimensional) version of the visual content; and identify an instance of a statistically significant difference in a region of interest between the first ROI data and the second ROI data for at least one frame of the visual content indicative of an instance of viewing fatigue of the second viewer. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 09-18-2014 |
20140267874 | INDICATING THE OPERATIONAL STATUS OF A CAMERA - An electronic device, method, at least one machine readable medium, and apparatus for indicating the operational status of a camera are provided herein. The electronic device includes a camera function, a lens, and an element associated with the lens. The element includes a second state wherein the element substantially optically occludes the lens from being visible to an observer of the electronic device when the camera function is not activated. The element also includes a first state wherein the element is substantially optically transparent and does not occlude the lens from being visible to an observer of the electronic device when the camera function is activated. | 09-18-2014 |
20140368538 | TECHNIQUES FOR AUGMENTED SOCIAL NETWORKING - Techniques for augmented social networking may include receiving an image. After receiving an image, in real time, an identity of a person in the image may be determined. Association information for the person based on the identity and one or more defined parameters may be determined. The defined parameters may represent electronic communication. Location information of the person may be determined. The association information may be presented proximate to the person in an augmented reality view using the location information. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 12-18-2014 |
