Abstract:
1. A method for use with a computing device comprising: determining a first head pose for said a user of said computing device at a first time, said determining of said first pose including generating a first image showing a portion of said first head pose and detecting at least two different points within said first image showing said portion of said first head pose; determining at least a second head pose for said user at a second time that is subsequent to said first time, said determining of said second pose including generating a second image showing a portion of said second head pose and detecting at least two different points within said second image showing said portion of said second head pose, said at least two different points within said second image corresponding to said at least two different points detected within said first image; automatically operatively switching between at least two selectable regions of at least one display device of said computing device based on at least one difference between said first head pose and at least said second head pose, said at least two selectable regions each being a separate graphical user interface (GUI) associated with one or more programs or computer logic executed by said computing device; and storing work status information related to at least one of the at least two selectable regions, the work status information retrieved when automatically operatively switching between the at least two selectable regions.
