Abstract
A transition mechanism for a computing system utilizing user sensing. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a sensing element to sense a presence or movement of a user of the apparatus, a processor, wherein operation of the processor includes interpretation of user gestures to provide input to the apparatus, and a light generation element to generate a light to indicate existence of a virtual boundary of the apparatus. The computing device is to change from a first state to a second state upon the sensing element sensing that at least a portion of the user is within the virtual boundary.
