In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage comprises instructions executable by the at least one processor to determine an attention center that corresponds to at least a portion of a real-world environment and present, on a display, content at a display location determined based on the attention center.

Presentation of content based on attention center of user

An electronic device includes one or more processors, an audio interface, operable with the one or more processors, and a voice interface engine. The audio interface receives first acoustic signals identifying a control operation for the one or more processors. The one or more processors cause the audio interface to exchange second acoustic signals with at least one other electronic device, thereby negotiating which device will perform the control operation.

Methods and devices for negotiating performance of control operations with acoustic signals

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an augmented reality system, a user command to select content associated with at least one of a device and the augmented reality system; receiving, at the augmented reality system, another user command to transfer the content to another device; and transferring, responsive to receiving the another user command to transfer the content, the content to the another device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Content transfer

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, a query from a user; receiving an indication of a time associated with provision of a result associated with the query; and adjusting a characteristic associated with an audible output based upon the indicated time. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Adjust output characteristic

A method, a system, and a computer program product for indicating a dialogue status of a conversation thread between a user of an electronic device and a virtual assistant capable of maintaining conversational context of multiple threads at a time. The method includes receiving, at an electronic device providing functionality of a virtual assistant (VA), a user input that corresponds to a task to be performed by the VA. The method includes determining, from among a plurality of selectable threads being concurrently maintained by the VA and based on content of the user input, one target thread to which the user input is associated. The method includes performing the task within the target thread.

Methods to present the context of virtual assistant conversation

A voice assistant (VA) can switch between a voice input mode, in which the VA produces audible responses to voice queries, and a gesture input mode that can be triggered by a predetermined gesture, in which the VA produces visual responses to gesture-based queries.

Haptic feedback is generated on a headphone to indicate contexts of ambient sound. In this way, noise-canceling headphones can alert the wearer to audible cues of potentially dangerous situations that otherwise would be suppressed by the noise cancelation feature of the headphones.
