A UI for presenting and reviewing a document is optimized based upon the type of computing device being utilized to present the document. One such UI includes a first pane showing a view of the document under review that is sized and formatted for display on a large-format display device. The first pane can also be utilized to emphasize a portion of the document. The UI also includes a second pane that includes indicators for each of the reviewers of the document. The selection of an indicator will cause a portion of the document being reviewed by the corresponding reviewer to be displayed in the first pane. The UI also includes a third pane that includes a scaled image of the document shown in the first pane. Selection of a portion of the scaled image causes the selected portion of the document to be displayed in the first pane.

Technologies are described herein for enhancing a user presence status determination. Visual data may be received from a depth camera configured to be arranged within a three-dimensional space. A current user presence status of a user in the three-dimensional space may be determined based on the visual data. A previous user presence status of the user may be transformed to the current user presence status, responsive to determining the current user presence status of the user.

Enhanced accuracy of user presence status determination

Techniques to customize a user interface for different displays are described. An apparatus such as an electronic device with a processing system may implement a custom user interface system that when executed by a processor is operative to adapt a user interface view of an application for presentation by one or more displays. The custom user interface system may comprise, among other elements, a user interface adaptation component operative to receive as input a user interface view of the application for presentation on a first display and an adaptation parameter, and modify the user interface view for presentation on a second display based on the adaptation parameter. A presentation component is operative to present the customized user interface view on the second display. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A state client is configured to allow a user to specify a meeting-specific state, such as that the user is running late for a meeting, checked in to the meeting, or unable to attend the meeting. A state service stores data identifying the user's meeting-specific state. The state service also responds to requests for the state of the user. In one implementation, when such a request is received, the state service determines whether the user is an invitee to the same meeting as the user requesting the state. If not, the state service returns a general-purpose state indicator for the user. If both users are invitees to the same meeting, the state service returns the meeting-specific state indicator, which may then be displayed by a state client.
