Abstract
Systems and methods for sensor-agnostic representation of human presence information are described. An operating system of a computing device with a display screen is configured to receive, from a sensor system, human presence information representing the position and posture of one or more persons detected by a sensor of the sensor system, where the human presence information is determined based on a coordinate system associated with the display screen. The human presence information has the same format regardless of the sensor technology. The human presence information includes an elevation angle, an azimuth angle, a face pitch, a face roll, and/or a face yaw of the person relative to the sensor and/or display screen. The operating system may use the human presence information to implement privacy-related features and/or may provide the human presence information to one or more applications via an API.
