Abstract
An electronic device includes a device housing, a front-facing imager, one or more sensors, a blade assembly carrying a blade and slidably coupled to the device housing and operable to slidably transition between an extended position where the blade extends beyond an edge of the device housing a retracted position where a major surface of the blade abuts a major surface of the device housing and a peek position in which the blade reveals the front-facing imager. The electronic device includes one or more processors. The one or more processors cause the blade assembly to transition to the peek position in response to an application operating on the one or more processors invoking an image capture operation and the one or more sensors determining the front-facing imager is oriented toward a user of the electronic device.
