Techniques are directed to user profiles for viewing devices. A user profile storing one or more defined parameters may be received. The one or more defined parameters may represent viewing information. Descriptive information about the media information to be viewed on the viewing device may be received. One or more settings in a viewing device may be adjusted based on the one or more defined parameters in the user profile and the descriptive information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for user profiles for viewing devices

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for a flexible display detection system to detect movement (e.g., flexing) of a flexible display screen on a device and to interpret the movement as a gesture or selection of a device mode. Embodiments may utilize bendable sensors located adjacent to the flexible display, and may divide a display into multiple panel sections (e.g., three panels) connected to one another via hinging portions of the flexible display. Depending on the arrangement of the sections, the device may be operated in a different mode such as, for example, a tablet mode, a reader mode, or a phone mode.

Flexible display sensing

Folding display notebook computer

A system configured to display autostereoscopic video (AV) may determine a depth setting for displaying the AV based on at least one of user parameters or device parameters, and may proceed to display the AV on a display based on the depth setting. In one embodiment the system may try to obtain user parameters before relying on device parameters. User parameters may be available from user profiles. For example, facial recognition may be used to determine if a user profile exists for a user. If a user profile is determined not to exist for the user, then the system may sense a distance from the display to the viewer, and may proceed to determine the depth setting based on the distance and device characteristics. Device characteristics may identify the manufacturer/model of the system, the type/size of display on which the AV will be viewed, the abilities of the system, etc.

Intelligent depth control

A technique includes using a processor-based machine to determine a dynamic interaction characteristic of a group of users. The technique further includes, based at least in part on the determined dynamic interaction characteristic, determining a profile of the group for a recommendation engine.

Computer-readable storage media, apparatus and method associated with storing a copy of local data in a historical data store, among other embodiments, are disclosed herein. In embodiments, one or more computer-readable storage media may contain instructions which when executed by a computing device may provide access of local data to one or more applications on the computing device for contemporaneous processing by the one or more applications. The local data may be associated, at least in part, with one or more sensors of the computing device. In some embodiments, a copy of the local data may be transmitted to a remote historical data store where it may be categorized and correlated with data from computing devices associated with one or more other users for further processing.

Sensor associated data of multiple devices based computing

Techniques to improve viewing comfort for three-dimensional (3D) content are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor circuit and a 3D graphics management module, and the 3D graphics management module may be operable by the processor circuit to generate first 3D graphics information corresponding to a 3D warm-up sequence for presentation by a 3D display, transmit the first 3D graphics information, and transmit second 3D graphics information corresponding to 3D content for presentation by the 3D display. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques to improve viewing comfort for three-dimensional content

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for evaluating the resulting image quality of compression of motion videos as an input to controlling the degree of compression. A device to compress motion video includes a compressor to compress a first uncompressed frame of a motion video to generate a first compressed frame of the motion video for a viewing device having at least one viewing characteristic, and a mean opinion score (MOS) estimator to combine a structural metric of image quality of the first compressed frame and an opinion metric of image quality associated with the at least one viewing characteristic to determine whether to alter a quantization parameter (QP) of the compressor to compress a second uncompressed frame of the motion video. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for evaluating compressed motion video quality

Techniques may be used to authenticate a user to a computing device using their skin tone. A color sample may be received while a computing device remains in a power saving state. A user may be authenticated when the color sample matches a skin tone record. The computing device may be placed in an active state when the user is authenticated. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
