Abstract: Various embodiments enable additional content or features to be displayed to a user in response to detecting one eye of the user being closed either as a wink or for a duration of time. In one example, the additional content is graphical overlay, such as a menu containing selectable graphical elements to perform functions related to an application, game, or content, of global navigational features of the computing device in general, or to alternate views, features, or supplemental content for an application or game currently being displayed on a computing device. In one example, the overlay may be displayed only as long as the user keeps one eye closed or, alternatively, the user could wink to display the overlay and provide some other input to remove the overlay.

Abstract: A computing device can track a gaze direction of a user of the computing device. In some embodiments, gaze tracking can be performed using at least one front-facing camera of the computing device. The computing device can determine a position on a display of the device that corresponds to where the user's gaze is directed. The computing device can display content that is decipherable (i.e., readable, legible, recognizable, understandable, non-scrambled, unobscured, etc.) at the position on the display that corresponds to the user's gaze direction. The computing device can scramble at least some content that is displayed at a position(s) on the display other than the position at which the user's gaze is directed.

Abstract translation: 各种实施例使得能够响应于检测到用户的一只眼睛被关闭或者作为眨眼或持续时间而向用户显示附加内容或特征。 在一个示例中，附加内容是图形叠加，诸如包括用于执行与计算设备的全局导航特征相关的功能，游戏或内容的功能的可选图形元素的菜单，或者替代视图，特征， 或当前正在计算设备上显示的应用或游戏的补充内容。 在一个示例中，只要用户保持一只眼睛闭合，或者替代地，用户可以眨眼来显示覆盖并提供一些其他输入以移除覆盖层，则可以仅显示覆盖。
