Abstract: An intelligent assistant device is configured to communicate non-verbal cues. Image data indicating presence of a human is received from one or more cameras of the device. In response, one or more components of the device are actuated to non-verbally communicate the presence of the human. Data indicating context information of the human is received from one or more of the sensors. Using at least this data one or more contexts of the human are determined, and one or more components of the device are actuated to non-verbally communicate the one or more contexts of the human.

Abstract: An adaptive grip for a digital stylus includes a body having an internal volume and a keying feature in the internal volume to rotationally key the digital stylus to the body. The adaptive grip further includes a distal opening to allow an inking tip of the digital stylus to protrude from the internal volume and a retention feature to retain the digital stylus in the internal volume in a longitudinal direction.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to computing devices and methods for authenticating a user. In one example, a method for authenticating a user at a computing device comprises activating a fingerprint reader integrated into a power key of the computing device, and activating a visual indicator at the power key to indicate a status of the fingerprint reader. Based at least in part on activating the fingerprint reader, a standby function of the power key is disabled. A fingerprint of the user is received via the fingerprint reader and used to authenticate the user. After authenticating the user, the visual indicator is deactivated and the standby function of the power key is re-enabled.
