Example apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media facilitate concurrent consumption of media content by multiple users using superimposed animation. An example apparatus includes a display to present media and a visual representation of a person; a sensor; machine-readable instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to at least identify a direction of a gaze of a user based on signals output by the sensor; responsive to the direction of the gaze of the user being toward the media, cause a first adjustment to the visual representation; and responsive to the direction of the gaze of the user being toward the visual representation, cause a second adjustment to the visual representation, the second adjustment different than the first adjustment.

Facilitation of concurrent consumption of media content by multiple users using superimposed animation

Example apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media facilitate concurrent consumption of media content by multiple users using superimposed animation. Example instructions, when executed, cause at least one processor of an electronic user device to at least cause a display to present media and a visual representation of a remote individual, the visual representation including at least a portion of a human profile; identify a direction of a gaze of a user of the electronic user device based on signals output by one or more sensors of the electronic user device; and determine whether the gaze of the user is directed toward the display of the media or the display of the visual representation based on the direction of the gaze.

Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for facilitation of concurrent consumption of media content by a first user of a first computing device and a second user of a second computing device. In various embodiments, facilitation may include superimposition of an animation of the second user over the media content presented on the first computing device, based on captured visual data of the second user received from the second computing device. In various embodiments, the animation may be visually emphasized on determination of the first user's interest in the second user. In various embodiments, facilitation may include conditional alteration of captured visual data of the first user based at least in part on whether the second user has been assigned a trusted status, and transmittal of the altered or unaltered visual data of the first user to the second computing device.

Embodiments of methods, systems, and storage medium associated with transitioning a video conference session from one device accessible by a user to another device accessible by the user are disclosed herein. In one instance, the method may include detecting at least one condition for transitioning a video conference session from a first device accessible by the user associated with the video conference session to a second device accessible by the user that is not associated with the video conference session, and in response to the detection, transitioning the video conference session to the second device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
