Techniques are disclosed for using contextual information to determine an appropriate response in a system that includes a device paired with an accessory device. The contextual information can be sourced from local sensors, received communications, and information stored on a device within the system. Stored parameters in the system allow flexibility and configurability in evaluating the contextual information. Using feedback obtained after actions taken based on the contextual information allows the system to adapt to better meet the needs of the user.

Contextual information usage in systems that include accessory devices

Activity surface

A tangible object virtualization station including a base capable of stably resting on a surface and a head component unit connected to the base. The head component unit extends upwardly from the base. At an end of the head component opposite the base, the head component comprises a camera situated to capture a downward view of the surface proximate the base, a lighting array that directs light downward toward the surface proximate the base. The tangible object virtualization station further comprises a display interface included in the base. The display interface is configured to hold a display device in an upright position and connect the display device to the camera and the lighting array.

Tangible object virtualization station

A computing device is described. In an example implementation, the computing device includes a housing including a display screen on a front surface, the housing and display screen being collectively positionable in a plurality of physical orientations, an input device that includes a first selection mechanism and a second selection mechanism, the first selection mechanism being actuatable to adjust a setting of an output of an application displayed on the display screen, the second selection mechanism being actuatable to adjust the setting of the output of the application displayed on the display screen, and an orientation sensor configured to determine which physical orientation of the plurality of physical orientations that the display screen is positioned in, and change a first input polarity of the first selection mechanism to correspond to the determined physical orientation of the display screen.

Input polarity of computing device

Computing device

Various implementations for a display positioning system include stand with a front a back surface being connected to form a curved bend such that the bottom edges of the front and back surface are spread out to support the stand, the front surface is further connected to a stand lip forming a stand channel between the front surface and an extended portion of the stand lip, an insert configured to rest within the stand channel of the stand and including a front plate and a back plate that extend beyond a top portion of the insert and form an insert channel, the insert channel being configured to receive a first edge of a computing device and support the computing device in an elevated position, and an adapter with an optical element that is configured to rest within a first slot in the stand when not in use.

Display positioning system

Virtualization device

Various implementations for object detection include a method includes capturing a video stream that includes an activity object and a pointing object, identifying the activity object, displaying a graphical user interface embodying a virtual scene based on the identified activity object, determining a location of the pointing object relative to the activity object, determining a routine based on the location of the pointing object relative to the activity object, and executing the routine within the virtual scene.

Detection of pointing object and activity object

Display screen or portion thereof with a transitional graphical user interface

A description is provided of a wearable device that is made up of a display device and a securing device that provides at least an overlay portion to provide electrical connection to the display device. The display device and the securing device may both contain electrical circuitry. The overlay connection to the display device can create an electrical connection between the electrical circuitry on the display device and the electrical circuitry in the securing device.

Securing device for connecting to a display device

Vehicle track

A display positioning system is described. In an example implementation, the display positioning system includes an adapter adapted to redirect a field of view of a video capture device of a computing device; and a stand adapted to situate on a surface, the stand including one or more legs that are adjustable to modify a distance between the video capture device of the computing device and the surface when the computing device is placed on the stand to adjust the field of view of the video capture device.

Foldable display positioning assembly
