A computing device can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a display operatively coupled to the processor; and an external shell assembly that includes an array of electronic components, where the array of electronic components includes transducers.

Computing device with external shell microperforations

A device can include a display that includes a display area; and an optical assembly that includes an optical element that defines an origin of a view of a camera, where the optical element is positionable directly in front of the display area of the display.

Optical assembly

An approach is provided that detects when a digital camera has been set to a privacy mode that limits access to the digital camera. When in privacy mode, the digital camera receives a request to access the digital camera from an application. The approach determines whether the requesting application is allowed access to the digital camera while the digital camera is in the privacy mode. The requesting application is then allowed access to the digital camera in response to the determination being that the requesting application is allowed access to the digital camera. Likewise, the requesting application is inhibited access to the digital camera in response to the determination being that the requesting application is not allowed access to the digital camera.

Root level controls to enable privacy mode for device cameras

An apparatus can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a base housing; a display housing that includes a center panel and folding wings that fold over the center panel to form a recess for the base housing; and a hinge assembly that couples the display housing to the base housing.

Folding device

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, an indication to activate a camera integrated into the information handling device; obtaining, using the activated camera, two-dimensional image data of an object; transforming the two-dimensional image data of the object into three-dimensional image data of the object; and utilizing the three-dimensional image data of the object in at least one of: an augmented reality application and a virtual reality application. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Augmented and virtual reality object creation

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to analyze the decibel levels of audio of a user's speech. The instructions are executable to, based on the analysis, enhance a transcript of the user's speech with indications of particular words from the user's speech as being associated with one or more emotions of the user.

Techniques to enhance transcript of speech with indications of speaker emotion

A method can include executing an application using a virtual reality headset; rendering a scene of the application to a display of the virtual reality headset; and, during rendering of the scene, rendering a graphic to the display where the graphic represents a power unit that is not physically coupled to the virtual reality headset.

Headset power unit visualization

A device can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a microphone operatively coupled to the processor; a network interface operatively coupled to the processor; circuitry that parses audio signals received via the microphone for a name and a type of device; circuitry that analyzes network information associated with remote devices accessible via the network interface based at least in part on at least one of the name and the type of device to associate the name and the type of device with one of the remote devices; and circuitry that stores the name and the type of device to the memory in association with the one of the remote devices.

Natural language connectivity

One embodiment provides a method, including: engaging, at an information handing device, in a conversational session with a user; receiving an input from a source other than the user during the conversational session; and performing, at the information handling device, an action related to the conversational input in response to the received input. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Input during conversational session

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive a first data stream from a first conferencing service operated by a first conferencing service provider and to receive second data stream from a second conferencing service operated by a second conferencing service provider. The instructions are then executable to merge the first and second data streams.

Systems and methods to merge data streams from different conferencing platforms

In one aspect, a first device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to determine, based on input from at least one sensor, whether a conference room is in use. The instructions are also executable to, based on the determination, provide an electronic notification to a second device regarding whether the conference room is in use.

Systems and methods to electronically indicate whether conference room is in use based on sensor input

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to identify coordinates of a camera relative to a screen and to present on the screen a video stream next to the coordinates responsive to identifying the coordinates of the camera.

Techniques for presenting video stream next to camera

For sorting and displaying digital notes on a digital whiteboard, an apparatus is disclosed. A system, method, and program product also perform the functions of the apparatus. The apparatus for sorting and displaying digital notes on a digital whiteboard includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores code executable by the processor. The processor receives a plurality of digital notes, identifies a plurality of categories, and sorts each digital note with at least one category based on metadata associated with each digital note. The processor displays, on the digital whiteboard, each of the plurality of digital notes at a location based on the at least one category.

Sorting and displaying digital notes on a digital whiteboard

One embodiment provides a method including: detecting, using a processor, user input to a surface, the user input being associated with a virtual interface; identifying, within the user input, a palm input pattern; and adjusting the virtual interface based on at least one aspect of the identified palm pattern. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Virtual interface offset

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to switch a hub device from a hub mode to a slave or pass-through mode responsive to one or more contextual triggers.
