Abstract:
A system and method for capturing an image of a user. An image is captured with a camera, wherein the image includes a user's image. A first avatar is displayed in a display, wherein displaying includes positioning an avatar in at least some of the user's image. The user is then encouraged to move so the first avatar moves to a second position in the display.
Abstract:
A device includes an enclosure and logic. The enclosure includes a plurality of capacitive touch sensor arrays disposed at least on two of a top side, a bottom side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a back side of the device. The enclosure also includes a first display on the front side of the device. The logic receives touch interaction information from the plurality of capacitive touch sensor arrays and initiates an action based at least in part on the touch interaction information.

Abstract:
System and techniques for spoofing detection in image biometrics are described herein. A sequence of images may be obtained from a camera; a first plurality of images in the sequence of images including a representation of a user body part, and a second plurality of images in the sequence of images including a representation of an environment of the user. A marker may be created for the representation of the body part. A feature of the environment of the user present during the second plurality of images may be identified in the sequence of images using a third group of circuits. A correlation between the marker and the feature of the environment in the sequence of images may be quantified to produce a synchronicity metric of the degree to which the marker and the feature of the environment correlate.
Abstract:
Control panels with input elements for controlling components corresponding to each of the controls. The input elements can further be actuated by detecting an optical reflection associated with an input element.

Abstract:
A user authentication system and method. A two-dimensional image of a scene is obtained and range information obtained from the scene is aligned with the two-dimensional image. One or more depth regions is identified and image segments corresponding to the one or more depth regions are selected within the two-dimensional image. Brightness operations are performed on one or more of the selected image segments to form a corrected image.
Abstract:
A mechanism is described for employing and facilitating a thumb sensor at a computing device. A method of embodiments of the invention includes extending a touch panel of a computing device into a flap of the touch panel to be used as a side sensor of the computing device, and sensing a use of the side sensor, the use including touching of the side sensor by a user, where sensing may include detecting a change at one or more intersecting points of a plurality of intersecting points of conductive lines. The method may further include facilitating an action in response to the use of the side sensor.
