One embodiment provides a method, the method including: tracking, using a virtual privacy creation system, a user having an augmented reality device within an environment; detecting, with the virtual privacy creation system, the user is in proximity to another user having a privacy mode enabled, wherein the privacy mode of the another user identifies privacy settings for the another user; and enabling, at the augmented reality device, a privacy view based upon the privacy settings for the another user.

Virtual privacy creation system

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, a request from a user to access content; detecting, using at least one sensor associated with the information handling device, a face of the user; generating, using at least one audio output device and subsequent to the detecting, an audible sound; determining, using a processor, whether an expected movement of the face is identified with respect to the audible sound; and granting, responsive to determining that the expected movement is identified, the user access to the content. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Sound-based user liveness determination

A system can include a display housing that includes a display; a keyboard housing that includes a keyboard, a processor and memory accessible to the processor; a sensor operatively coupled to the processor; a hinge assembly that rotatably couples the display housing and the keyboard housing; and adjustment circuitry that determines a recommended position for adjustment of the display housing with respect to the keyboard housing using sensor data generated by the sensor.

Anti-glare computing system

One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying a user of a wearable device within an environment; determining a security level of the user for the environment; generating, based upon the determined security level of the user, a navigational path within the environment; displaying, on a display of the wearable device, the generated navigational path on the wearable device of the user; and tracking the user while moving along within the environment. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Generating navigational path based on security level

One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying a biometric pattern present in a wireless signal associated with an information handling device; determining, using a processor, whether the biometric pattern corresponds to an authorized biometric pattern; and authenticating, responsive to determining that the biometric pattern corresponds to the authorized biometric pattern, a user of the information handling device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Wireless signal authentication via biometric pattern detection

In one aspect, a first device may include at least one processor, a display accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to present an icon on the display so that the icon appears disposed within the real world at or proximate to a location of a second device associated with the icon. The second device may be different from the first device and exist in the real world. The instructions may also be executable to identify a user of the first device as looking at the icon, receive audible input from the user, and issue a command to the second device to execute at least one function in conformance with the audible input based on the identification of the user as looking at the icon.

Techniques for processing audible input directed to second device based on user looking at icon presented on display of first device

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting user activation input provided to a voice input button displayed on a display screen of an information handling device, wherein the user activation input triggers a voice input mode; expanding, responsive to the detecting, a voice input menu, wherein the voice input menu comprises at least two content input options; identifying a selection of one of the at least two content input options; receiving, after the identifying, voice input; converting the voice input into another input type, wherein the another input type is designated by the selection; and providing, based on the converting, input associated with the another input type into an underlying application. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Content input selection and switching

In one aspect, a headset may include at least one processor, a display accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to identify user input regarding a particular object and, based on the user input, present an icon on the display. The icon may indicate whether the particular object is a real-world object or virtual object. Subsequent to presentation of the icon, the instructions may then be executable to execute a command related to selection of the particular object.

Graphical indications and selectors for whether object being selected via AR device is real or virtual

One embodiment provides a method, including: initiating, using at least one camera of an information handling device, a video feed; receiving marking input on an object in the video feed; identifying, using at least one distance sensor of the information handling device, distance information from the information handling device to the object; and providing, in the video feed and presented concurrently with the marking input, a visual overlay of the distance information. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Visual overlay of distance information in video feed

One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying a defined display region; receiving, on an off screen input device, user input; scaling, using a processor, the user input based on the defined display region; and displaying, on a display device, the scaled user input within the defined display region. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Flexible mapping of a writing zone to a digital display

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

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, user command input comprising identification of an object; receiving, at an information handling device, image input comprising at least one object; determining, using a processor, whether the object in the user command input is associated with the at least one object in the image input; and responsive to determining that the object in the user command input is associated with the at least one object, performing a function based on the determination.

Object association determination

For determining structure from a language block, a processor determines phrase tags from phrase vectors for phrases of a language block. The phrase tags specify a phrase function. The processor further determines structure tags for the phrases from the language block.

Determining structure from a language block

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, audible user input; determining, subsequent to the receiving, an intonation with which the audible user input was provided; assigning, based on the determined intonation, an expressive meaning to the audible user input; and performing, based on the expressive meaning, a corresponding function. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Function performance based on input intonation

For multiuser information exchange management, a processor receives information permissions for a plurality of participants in an electronic forum. The information permissions include an audio permission, a video permission, a file share permission, a drawing permission, and/or a presentation permission for each participant. The processor provides forum information to each participant based on the information permissions. The audio permission is required to receive audio from the electronic forum. The video permission is required to receive video from the electronic forum. The file share permission is required to receive a file from the electronic forum. The drawing permission is required to receive a drawing from the electronic forum. The presentation permission is required to receive a presentation from the electronic forum.
