An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for generating a projected user interface. The apparatus may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to receive information regarding a detected position of the user's body and to determine whether the detected position is an activation position, in which case the projection of a user interface may be provided. The user interface may be projected on an area on the user's body, such as a hand or a forearm, or on the surface of an object. The activation position may thus be a predefined position of the user's body in which effective projection of the user interface onto the surface and user interaction with the user interface is facilitated.

Method and apparatus for providing user interfaces

A method to track a user's gaze for medical diagnostics is described. The method includes detecting a gaze behavior of a user in response to a stimulus. The stimulus is a non-diagnostic stimulus. The method also includes determining a type of the stimulus and generating an indication of the gaze behavior and the type of the stimulus. The indication may then be used to generate an expected gaze pattern describing expected gaze behavior to given stimuli. Additionally, the indication may be used to determine whether the gaze behavior is indicative of a potential problem and, in response, an alert may be generated. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.

Medical diagnostic gaze tracker

Systems and methods for video editing and playback are provided. In one implementation, a selected portion of a timeline for navigating media content can be repositioned and resized by user input actions received along various axes relative to the timeline. In another implementation, a plurality of signals associated with media content can be intelligently weighted based on user group historical attributes to identify portions of interest in the media content. In a further implementation, an experience map for media content is provided in which a representative signature for the content includes visual signal intensity representations and social interest concentrations over the length of the content. In another implementation, a subset of filters is determined for recommendation to a user based on one or more attributes associated with at least one of media content, the user, a group of users, or a user device.

Systems and methods for identifying media portions of interest

Provided herein is a technique by which a user may interact with an apparatus configured to provide for display of an image, such as with augmented reality glasses. An example embodiment may provide a method including receiving an indication of a first motion event initiated on a first side of a device from a motion sensor, determining a first motion event pattern based on one or more directional components of the first motion event, distinguishing the first motion event from a motion event initiated on a second side of the device, correlating a first operation with the first motion event pattern, and causing the first operation to be performed. The first operation may include causing the opacity of an image presented on a substantially transparent display to be increased.

Method and apparatus for providing input through an apparatus configured to provide for display of an image

A platform that is configured to be removably placed symmetrically on or about a user's head has at least a first transducer configured to capture vibration of the user's skull or facial movement generated by the user's voice activity and to detect the user's speaking activity. This first transducer converts the vibration or facial movement into a first electrical audio signal. The electrical audio signal from the first transducer is processed by circuitry or embodied software as voiced frames and/or as unvoiced frames, in which the voiced frames and/or the unvoiced frames are defined based at least on the first electrical audio signal. Multiple embodiments follow from this: where the first transducer is a vibration sensor; where voice is captured by an air microphone and filtering adaptation differs for the voiced versus unvoiced frames as defined by the first transducer, and another with at least three air microphones.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to facilitate sharing of content between various computing devices. In the context of a method, an image of an external apparatus is received that includes information presented upon a display of the external apparatus. The method may also cause a content request to be provided that requests content upon which the information presented upon the display of the external apparatus is based. In response to the request, the method may receive the content upon which the information presented upon the display of the external apparatus is based.

Method and apparatus for sharing content

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to facilitate sharing of content between various computing devices. In the context of a method, an image of a first external apparatus is received that includes information presented upon a display of the first external apparatus. The method also includes causing an identification request that includes a representation of the image of the first external apparatus including a representation of the information presented upon the display of the first external apparatus to be provided to a plurality of external apparatuses. The method also receives a response to the identification request from the first external apparatus indicating that the first external apparatus has presented the information upon the display of the first external apparatus.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are herein provided for attracting a user's gaze to information associated with a portion of a display in a non-intrusive manner. A method may include determining to attract a user's gaze to information associated with a portion of a display. The method may further include causing presentation of a visual attractant on the display proximate the portion of the display. The method may further include causing presentation of the visual attractant on the display to be ceased in an instance in which the user's gaze is determined to be moving toward the information. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Method and apparatus for attracting a user's gaze to information in a non-intrusive manner

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the use of a multi-segment wearable accessory. In this regard, methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for controlling and, in some instances, interacting with a multi-segment wearable accessory. In the context of a method, an orientation of each of a plurality of segments of a multi-segment wearable accessory is determined relative to an axis through the multi-segment wearable accessory, such as by determining an angle of each of the plurality of segments relative to the axis through the multi-segment wearable accessory. A relative ordering of the plurality of segments of the multi-segment wearable accessory may then be determined based upon the orientation of each of the plurality of segments relative to the axis.
