Systems that include device  10  may also include wired and/or wireless accessories (e.g., keyboards, computer mice, remote controls, trackpads, etc.). 
       FIG.  2    is a perspective view of device  10  in an illustrative configuration in which device  10  has an optional stand (e.g., so that device  10  may serve as a stand-mounted desktop computer with an integrated display). As shown in  FIG.  2   , stand  24  may support housing  20  of device  10  on support surface  33  (e.g., a table top), so that display  14  may be viewed by user  30  in direction  32 . Display  14  may have an active area with pixels that display an image surrounded by a pixel-free inactive area that serves as a border or display  14  may be a borderless display that is entirely covered with pixels. Housing  20  may have a rear portion on rear surface (rear face or rear side) R, a front portion on opposing front surface (front face or front side) F, and a side portion on sidewall surface (sidewall) W. Sidewall surface W may be an extended portion of rear surface R (e.g., in arrangements in which rear surface R curves towards surface F around the periphery of housing  20 ), may be a separate housing surface (e.g., a surface that is oriented perpendicular to front surface F and/or rear surface R), or may have other configurations. In some configurations, sidewalls W or portions of sidewalls W may be transparent and may overlap pixels in display  14  (e.g., display  14  may extend from front F onto some or all of sidewalls W). 
     Stand  24  and/or housing  20  may be formed from metal, glass, polymer, fiberglass and/or other polymer with embedded fibers, ceramic, crystalline material such as sapphire, fabric, wood or other natural materials, other materials, and/or combinations of these materials. These materials may include opaque materials and/or transparent materials. Stand  24  may include a solid cylinder, a solid rectangular column, or other solid support structure, may include an angled metal member or other angled support structure as shown in the illustrative arrangement of  FIG.  2   , may have a base and pedestal configuration, or may have other suitable shapes for supporting display  14  at a desired position relative to a table top or other support surface  33  on which device  10  is resting. If desired, stand  24  may be adjustable. 
     Housing  20  may include housing walls (e.g., planar or curved layers of 0-10 mm in thickness, at least 0.3 mm in thickness, less than 6 mm in thickness, or other suitable thickness that cover interior components in an interior region of device  10 ) and/or may include internal structures (e.g., frame members, supportive layers such as layers of metal or other materials, etc.). The front portion of housing  20 , which may sometimes be referred to as a display cover layer, may cover an array of pixels in display  14 . To allow images that are displayed on the array of pixels to be viewed by user  30 , the display cover layer may be formed from a transparent material such as clear glass, plastic (transparent polymer), sapphire, etc. The side and rear of housing  20  may be formed from opaque materials (e.g., metal, opaque polymer, opaque polymer with embedded fibers, etc.) and/or from transparent materials (e.g., clear glass or polymer). In some arrangements, both the front and rear portions (and, if desired, the side portion) of housing  20  may be formed from glass. Transparent polymer and/or other materials may also be used. In arrangements in which transparent housing material overlaps internal device components, opaque material such as layer of opaque ink may be formed on inner surfaces of housing  20  to help block internal components from view. Transparent windows (e.g., openings) may be formed in the opaque layer to accommodate cameras, ambient light sensors, proximity sensors, three-dimensional image sensors, and/or other optical sensors. 
     In one illustrative configuration, which is sometimes described herein as an example, housing  20  includes a glass display cover layer and has glass on sidewall surface W and rear surface R (or at least some of these surfaces). With this optional arrangement, most or all of the exterior surface of housing  20  is formed from glass. This type of arrangement may provide device  10  with an attractive appearance and/or may help device  10  accommodate desired components such as desired optical components. Transparent materials such as transparent polymer may also be included, if desired. Illustrative mounting locations for the electronic components in device  10  (e.g., optical components and other input-output devices  12 ) include front surface F, sidewall surface W, and rear surface R (see, e.g., illustrative mounting locations  22  of  FIG.  2   , which may be used for gaze tracking sensors, image sensors, projectors, pixel arrays, edge-lit light-guide plates and other lower resolution light-emitting devices, touch sensors, wireless circuitry, and/or other components). These components may also be mounted on stand  24  (see, e.g., illustrative mounting locations  22 ′) 
     A cross-sectional side view of device  10  of  FIG.  2    is shown in  FIG.  3   . As shown in  FIG.  3   , housing  20  may have portions on front surface F, rear surface R and sidewall W. Sidewall W may run around the four edges of device  10  (e.g., when device  10  has a rectangular outline viewed in direction  32 ) and/or may have other shapes. Sidewall W may have planar portions and/or portions with a curved cross-sectional shape. Housing  20  may enclose interior region  19 . Electrical components  28  may be mounted on one or more printed circuits such as printed circuit  26 . In some configurations, cables and other electrical paths may be used in routing signals to and from components  28 . Electrical components  28  and other structures for device  10  (e.g., control circuitry  16 , input-output devices  12  of  FIG.  1   , etc.) may be mounted in interior region  19  and surrounded by housing  20 . Housing  20  may separate interior region  19  from exterior region  21 , which surrounds housing  20  and device  10 . 
     One or more light-emitting components may be mounted within housing  20  (e.g., pixel arrays in displays, lasers, light-emitting diodes that form status indicator lights and/or that provide light to a light guide layer, etc.). As shown in  FIG.  3   , for example, displays  14  may be included in interior region  19 . Displays  14  may include arrays of pixels P. A first display may be formed under the portion of housing  20  on front surface F may serve as the main display for device  10 . An optional second display such as a strip-shaped display may run along one, two, three, or more segments of sidewall W and may form a ticker-tape-style output device (e.g., to display stock prices, weather, sports scores, etc.). An optional third display may extend over some or all of the area of housing  20  on rear surface R. These displays may be touch sensitive or insensitive to touch. In general, any one, two, or three of these displays and/or other displays  14  may be formed within interior  19  for viewing through transparent overlapping portions of housing  20 . The example of  FIG.  3    is illustrative. 
     As shown in  FIG.  3   , stand  24  may be coupled to internal support structures (e.g., metal plates, frame members, etc.) such as internal support  24 F. Printed circuit  26  and other internal structures may be coupled to internal support  24 F. Support  24 F may also be coupled to housing  20  so that stand  24  can support housing  20 . An opening may be formed in housing  20  (e.g., an opening in a glass housing structure) to allow metal structures associated with stand  24  to couple to internal support  24 F. If desired, stand  24  may be formed from glass and/or may be coupled to a glass structure in housing  20  without forming an opening in housing  20  and/or without being coupled to an internal metal support. 
     A perspective view of a corner portion of an illustrative housing for device  10  is shown in  FIG.  4   . As shown in  FIG.  4   , housing  20  may have a front portion  20 F on front surface F, an opposing rear portion  20 R on rear surface R, and a sidewall portion  20 W on sidewall surface W (as an example). Portions  20 F,  20 R, and  20 W may all be formed from glass and/or one or more of these portions may be formed from other material. For example, portion  20 W may be formed from metal or polymer while portions  20 F and/or  20 R are formed from glass, portions  20 F and  20 W may be formed from glass while portion  20 R is formed from metal or polymer, and/or other configurations may be used. Portions  20 F,  20 R, and/or  20 W may be formed from glass layers (e.g., sheets of glass joined using laser welds, glass frit, polymer adhesive joints, and/or other coupling mechanisms). If desired, trim members (e.g., strips of polymer trim, metal trim, and/or other trim) may be formed at seams T between the portions of housing  20  of  FIG.  4   . 
       FIG.  5    is a cross-sectional side view of a portion of housing  20  in an illustrative arrangement in which internal layers  36  (e.g., metal sheets or other internal support structures) have been attached to the inner surfaces of rear portion  20 R (e.g., a rear glass housing wall) and front portion  20 F (e.g., a front glass housing wall, sometimes referred to as a display cover layer). Sidewall portion  20 W may be free of metal supporting structures or metal supporting structures such as internal layers  36  may also be attached to sidewall portion  20 W. Layers  36  may be attached to the glass portions of housing  20  using layers of adhesive (as an example). If desired, an intervening ink layer and/or other layers of material (e.g., metal, a dielectric thin-film mirror or other thin-film interference filter layer) may be formed between the adhesive layer and the glass portions of housing  20  (e.g., to provide device  10  with a desired appearance when viewed from exterior region  21 ). Glass frit, laser welds, adhesive joints, and/or other joints may be formed to couple pieces of housing  20  together (e.g., to join portion  20 R and portion  20 F to portion  20 W). 
     In the example of  FIG.  6   , rear portion  20 R has an integral curved sidewall portion  20 RW that forms the sidewall surface for housing  20 . Portions  20 R and  20 F may be coupled using glass frit, laser welds, adhesive joints, and/or other joints.  FIG.  7    shows how integral sidewall portion  20 RW of rear portion  20 R may bend sufficiently to form a sidewall for housing  20  that has a rounded appearance (e.g., portion  20 RW may be curved back on itself). Other arrangements for joining two or more glass layers to form housing  20  may be use, if desired. In some configurations, optional trim may be formed between glass seams in housing  20 . 
       FIG.  8    is a rear perspective view of device  10  in an illustrative arrangement in which input-output devices  12  have been incorporated into device  10 . As shown in the example of  FIG.  8   , rear portion  20 R of housing  20  may have windows (e.g., portions that are not covered by ink or other opaque masking material) such as a window in area  44 . A camera (e.g., a digital image sensor and lens) may be mounted under a window in area  44  so that images may be captured of objects located to the rear of device  10 . Cameras in device  10  may operate at visible wavelengths, infrared wavelengths, and/or ultraviolet wavelengths. As an example, device  10  may have one or more visible image sensors such as a visible digital image sensor that operates through a window or other portion of rear portion  20 R or through other portions of housing  20  (e.g., through a glass housing wall). 
     If desired, housing  20  may have one or more areas that include mechanical buttons (e.g., buttons with movable button members and associated switches that are configured to operate through an opening in housing  20 ) and/or one or more that are provided with touch sensor buttons (e.g., buttons that detect user button activation using capacitive sensing). As shown in  FIG.  8   , housing  20  (e.g., rear housing portion  20 R or, if desired, portion  20 W or portion  20 F) may have a touch sensor button such as a power button and/or other control buttons in button area  46 . 
     A wireless input device such as stylus  41  may be supported using a support structure such as tray  42  and/or may be coupled magnetically to a portion of housing  20  (e.g., portion  20 W, portion  20 F, or portion  20 W). For example, magnetic structures (magnets, iron members, etc.) may be provided within housing  20  in a location such as stylus mounting location  42 ′ so that stylus  41  may be removably attached to location  42 ′ (e.g. for temporary storage, for wireless charging, etc.). A display device such as a projector may be located in an area of display  14  such as area  48  (e.g., under a window). Projectors may also be located behind sidewall portions  20 W and/or front portion  20 F. During operation, the projectors may project images onto nearby surfaces such as walls, a tabletop or other support surface on which device  10  is resting (e.g., images may be projected through glass housing walls or other transparent housing walls such as transparent polymer walls). Projected images may have the same resolution as other displayed images (e.g., an image being displayed on display  14 ) or may have a higher resolution or a lower (coarser) resolution. 
     Device  10  may have ports for receiving external cables for power and/or data. For example, housing  20  may have a power port and/or a data port in one or more areas such as port area  40  of rear housing portion  20 R. The port in area  40  may have contacts (e.g., power and/or data pins that mates with corresponding contacts on an external cable) and/or may use wireless circuitry to receive power and/or data wirelessly through housing  20  (e.g., through capacitive coupling and/or inductive coupling arrangements). Magnetic structures (iron bars and/or magnets) and/or other attachment mechanisms may be formed in port area  40  to hold a cable plug on the end of an external cable in place within area  40 . 
     A sensor such as a three-dimensional image sensor may be mounted in housing  20 . For example, a three-dimensional image sensor may be formed in area  50  of rear housing portion  20 R or other portion of housing  20 . The three-dimensional image sensor may be a structured light sensor that has a light-emitting device such as device  52  that emits an array of light beams through housing  20 . The light beams may be, for example, infrared light beams. Device  52  may include an array of lasers (e.g., vertical cavity surface emitting lasers) that generate the infrared light beams. The three dimensional image sensor may also include a light detector such as infrared image sensor  54  that gathers images of the infrared light beams through housing  20  as the infrared light beams illuminate a target object. Control circuitry  16  can process the captured images to reconstruct three-dimensional images of the target object. Additional components (e.g., one or more additional input-output devices  12 ) may also be located in area  50  and/or other portions of housing  20  and may operate through housing  20 . If desired, three-dimensional sensing, position sensing, and/or other sensing may be performed using other sensors (e.g., an ultrasonic sensor, a radio-frequency sensor (radar sensor), a light-based position sensor (lidar), etc. These sensors may generate position information on external objects and/or may generate three-dimensional maps of the shapes of external objects. If desired, device  10  may be configured to use a projector such as a projector in area  48  on rear face R or elsewhere in device  10  to project images (e.g., computer-generated content) onto non-planar objects (e.g., onto real-world objects in a potentially cluttered environment surrounding device  10 ). The projected images may be predistorted by the control circuitry of device  10  based on knowledge of the three-dimensional shapes of the real-world objects that is gathered using one or more sensors such as one or more three-dimensional image sensors (e.g., based on depth mapping performed by device  52 ). In this way, flat images (computer-generated content with text and other virtual objects that appears flat and undistorted) may be viewed by a user, even when the surfaces onto which the computer-generated content is being projected are not flat. 
     In some arrangements, accessory devices such as accessory device  56  may be coupled to housing  20  (e.g., using magnets, adhesive, fasteners, etc.). Device  56  may include one or more cameras, a gaze tracking system, a projector or other display, and/or other accessory that supplies additional input-output devices (e.g., devices such as devices  12  of  FIG.  1    that are coupled to device  10  using wired and/or wireless links). 
     If desired, a portion of housing  20  such as portion  20 L of  FIG.  9    may be configured to serve as a lens (e.g., a convex lens or other suitable lens). This lens may be used with additional optical structures (e.g., one or more optional additional lens elements) and an associated optical component (component  57 ) such as a camera or projector. An image sensing device that is aligned with the lens formed from portion  20 L may include a visible digital image sensor and/or an infrared digital image sensor and may be used as part of a sensor (e.g., a three-dimensional image sensor, a two-dimensional image sensor, a gaze tracking system, a gesture sensor, etc.). Projectors may be used in emitting light that creates images on nearby surfaces after passing through the lens formed from portion  20 L. As shown in  FIG.  9   , by forming a lens from portion  20 L and/or a separate lens element that is aligned with optical component  57  (e.g., a two-dimensional camera, a three-dimensional image sensor, a projector, etc.), optical component  57  can operate through housing  20  (e.g., to capture images, to project images, etc.). 
       FIG.  10    is a cross-sectional side view of device  10  in an illustrative configuration in which projectors  58 F and  58 R are configured to project images through front portion  20 F of housing  20  and rear portion  20 R of housing  20 , respectively. Active shutters  60 F and  60 R such as liquid crystal shutters, electronic ink shutters, and/or other electrically adjustable light modulators may be used to selectively hide the projectors from view from the exterior of device  10 . Control circuitry  16  ( FIG.  1   ) can adjust the states of shutters  60 F and  60 R, so that these shutters are opaque and thereby block internal components such as projectors from view or so that these shutters are transparent and thereby allow projected image light from the projectors to exit the interior of device  10 . 
     In the illustrative configuration of  FIG.  10   , projector  58 F projects an image through active shutter  60 F and front housing portion  20 F when shutter  60 F is transparent. If desired, a portion of display  14  (e.g., a transparent display portion) may be interposed between housing portion  20 F and front projector  58 F. Projector  58 R may project an image through active shutter  60 R and rear housing portion  20 R when shutter  60 R is transparent. When projectors  58 F and  58 R are not in use, shutters  60 F and  60 R may be placed in an opaque state to help block projectors  58 F and  58 R from view from the exterior of device  10 . Projectors (and, if desired, shutters that overlap the projectors) may be located in stand  24 . For example, projector  58 F may be located at forward-facing position  58 F′ to project images onto a surface in front of device  10 , whereas projector  58 R may be located at rearward-facing position  58 R to project images onto a surface behind device  10 . Wireless circuitry, displays, and/or other input-output devices  12  may also be mounted in stand  24 . 
       FIG.  11    is a perspective view of device  10  in a system environment in which projectors are being used to project images onto surfaces in the vicinity of device  10 . As shown in  FIG.  11   , a first projector located in a left rear portion of housing  20  may project image  64  in direction  62  onto a wall or other surface to the left of device  10 , whereas a second projector located in a right rear portion of housing  20  may project image  68  in direction  66  onto a wall or other surface to the right of device  10 . If desired, accessory projectors that are linked to device  10  by wired and/or wireless connections may be used to project images onto nearby surfaces. For example, accessory projector  70  may project image  64  in direction  72  and/or accessory projector  74  may project image  68  in direction  76 . Images  64  and  68  may be associated with an image being presented on display  14 . For example, images  64  and  68  may be extended portions of an image being displayed on display  14 . 
     If desired, additional images may be projected by projectors in device  10 . For example, image  82  may be projected in direction  84  from a projector in region  80  of device  10 . Image  82  may, for example, be projected onto a tabletop or other support surface on which stand  24  and device  10  are resting and/or may be projected onto other surfaces under, to the side of, behind, and/or in front of device  10 . Projected image  82  may, as an example, include content that is extended from main display  14  and/or that is related to the content of main display  14 . As an example, if a view of a grassy park is displayed on display  14 , projected image  82  may include a grassy lawn that extends from grass in the image on display  14  and/or may include a diffuse green light or other light that is thematically associated with the grass being displayed on display  14 . 
     Accessories such as computer mice, keyboards, remote control devices, and/or other accessories (see, e.g., accessory  86 ) may be used in controlling device  10 . For example, a user of device  10  may use a keyboard or other accessory  86  to supply text, pointing commands, and/or other information to device  10  over a wired or wireless connection. 
     Stand  24  may support housing  20  on a support surface onto which image  82  is projected. Stand  24  may be formed from glass (e.g., a solid glass structure, a structure with a hollow interior region surrounded partially or completely by glass walls, a structure with metal and glass portions or other structures, etc.) and/or may be formed from other materials (opaque and/or transparent polymer, metal, etc.). Stand  24  may, if desired, have a portion such as portion  24 P (e.g., a planar portion that runs horizontally and that is characterized by a vertical surface normal) that is configured to receive and support a removable electronic device such as a cellular telephone, stylus, or other external item. Portion  24 P and/or other portions of stand  24  may be formed from glass, polymer, or other dielectric to accommodate transmission of light (e.g., through clear dielectric) and/or transmission of wireless data and/or power signals. 
     Portion  24 P of stand  24  and/or other portions of stand  24  may have an interior portion that contains one or more electrical components such as electrical component  83 . Electrical component  83  may include a display (pixel array) that displays images, wireless circuitry (e.g., circuitry for handling wireless power and/or wireless data), sensors, and/or other input-output devices. For example, component  83  may include a wireless signal structure such as a capacitive coupling plate or a coil that wirelessly couples with a corresponding wireless signal structure (capacitive coupling electrode or coil) for use in wireless signal transmission and/or reception. Wireless power circuitry in component  83  may be used in transmitting and/or receiving wireless power and wireless communications circuitry in component  83  may be used in transmitting and/or receiving wireless communications signals. 
     As an example, wireless power can be wirelessly transmitted from component  83  (e.g., a coil, capacitor plate, or other wireless power transmitting structure) in portion  24 P to a portable electronic device resting on portion  24 P, wireless communications signals can be wirelessly transmitted from component  83  to the portable device, and/or component  83  may receive wireless power and/or wireless data signals from the portable device. In some configurations, electrical component  83  may be configured to emit light that passes through portion  24 P. For example, electrical component  83  may have one or more light-emitting diodes or other components that emit light, component  83  may be a pixel array configured to display images that are visible through the glass or other transparent material of portion  24 P and/or that are visible through other portions of stand  24 , component  83  may be a projector, and/or component  83  may have other circuitry configured to emit light. In general, electrical component  83  may be mounted in planar portion  24 P of stand  24  and/or other portions of stand  24  and may be any suitable input-output device (see, e.g., input-output devices  12  of  FIG.  1   ) or other electrical component for device  10 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  12   , content from main display  14  may be moved between display  14  and ancillary display regions formed from adjacent projected images  64  and  66  (and/or a projected image on the support surface on which stand  24  is resting). In this way, images  64  and  66  (and/or a support surface image) may help expand the effective size of display  14 . In the example of  FIG.  12   , a user is moving on-screen object  90  from main display  14  onto left image  64  in direction  94  (see, e.g., moved object  92 ). The edges of images  64  and  66  may blend seamlessly (or nearly seamlessly) with adjacent edges of display  14  to create a continuous computer desktop. For example, the content displayed at left edge  14 E of display  14  may match the content displayed at right edge  64 E of projected image  64 . During operation, an input-output device in device  10  and/or a computer mouse, a trackpad, or other accessory input device (see, e.g., accessory  86  of  FIG.  11   ) may be used in supplying user input that moves on-screen objects such as object  90  seamlessly between projected images such as images  64  and  66  and adjacent portions of main display  14  and/or other projected image areas. The use of projectors (e.g., projectors in device  10  and/or accessory projectors) in displaying images adjacent to device  10  that serve as extensions to display  14  provides a user of device  10  with additional workspace and/or additional areas to receive visual content from device  10 . 
     If desired, cameras on device  10  can capture images of real-world objects. These images can be displayed on display  14 . Images of real-world objects may, for example, be displayed on display  14  in positions that make display  14  appear to be transparent to a user. Consider, as an example, the illustrative configuration of  FIG.  13   . In the example of  FIG.  13   , device  10  is positioned so that display  14  is overlapping real-world objects  102 . The overlap between display  14  and objects  100  in this example is partial, so that portions  102  of objects  100  are not blocked from view by display  14  and are directly viewable by the user of device  10 . Portions  104  of objects  100  are blocked by display  14  and are not directly viewable through display  14  due to the presence of opaque structures within display  14 . 
     Although portions  104  cannot be viewed directly, a camera on the rear of device  10  or other image sensor circuitry may capture an image that contains portions  104  and this image may be displayed in real time on display  14  in alignment with the locations of the blocked portions. In some arrangements, three-dimensional location information (e.g., three-dimensional images from a three-dimensional sensor) may be used to determine the location in three dimensions of portions  104 . A gaze tracking sensor (sometimes referred to as a gaze tracker or gaze tracking system) may be located on the front side of device  10  to gather information on the location of the user&#39;s eyes. Control circuitry  16  can use information from the gaze tracking sensor to determine the position of the user&#39;s eyes and can use the output of the three-dimensional image sensor or other position sensor circuitry to determine the position of portions  104  of objects  100 . From the known positions of objects  104 , display  14 , and the user&#39;s eyes, control circuitry  16  can then position captured images of portions  104  on display  14  in a location (and with appropriate optional image warping) that ensures that the these images of portions  104  are satisfactorily aligned with portions  102  of real-world objects  100 . In this way, the user will view objects  100  in their entirety. Portions  102  will be viewed directly as real-world items and portions  104  will be viewed as virtual items on display  14 . Display  14  will, in effect, appear transparent to the user (e.g., display  14  will be virtually transparent). 
     If desired, the virtual transparency of display  14  can be adjusted dynamically. For example, a user may supply input to device  10  that enables or disables this see-through feature. As another example, a three-dimensional image sensor or other sensor circuitry in device  10  can be used by control circuitry  16  to detect movement behind display  14 . In the absence of movement, display  14  will not display virtual objects associated with blocked portions of the real world. In response to detecting movement (e.g., movement of a person who has walked up behind display  14  to speak to the user of device  10 ), control circuitry  16  can automatically display captured images of blocked objects on display  14  (e.g., the virtual transparency of display  14  can be automatically turned on based on detected movement). Other triggering activities may also be used to automatically invoke (or turn off) virtual transparency (e.g., activities detected using voice detection, noise detection, voice command recognition, visual pattern recognition such as facial recognition or other image recognition, user gaze direction detection such as detection of a lingering gaze on a location just beyond the periphery of display  14  or detection of a gaze on display  14 , etc.). 
       FIG.  14    is a cross-sectional side view of an illustrative external item (item  118 ) that is located adjacent to an outer surface of housing  20  of device  10 . Item  118  may be a plug for a cable such as optional cable  120 , may be a stylus (see, e.g., stylus  41  of  FIG.  8   ), may be a computer accessory other than a stylus (e.g., a computer mouse, a trackpad, a keyboard, a camera, a projector or other display device, etc.), may be a portable device such as a cellular telephone, or may be other external device. During operation, item  118  may be attached to device  10 . For example, a mounting bracket, ledge, hook-and-loop fastening material, screws or other fasteners, clips, and/or other mounting structures may be used to temporarily attach item  118  adjacent to housing  20 . In the illustrative example of  FIG.  14   , item  118  has magnetic structures  112  and device  10  has magnetic structures  110 . Magnetic structures  112  and  110  may include magnetic material (e.g., iron bars, etc.) and/or magnets (e.g., permanent magnets and/or electromagnets). Magnetic structures  110  may be located within the interior of device  10  behind housing  20 . 
     Item  118  may contain wireless signal structure  116  and device  10  may contain a mating wireless signal structure  114 . Wireless signal structures  116  and  114  may include respective capacitive coupling plates (e.g., a pair of mating capacitor plates for capacitively coupled wireless power transfer and/or capacitively coupled wireless communications) or respective coils (e.g., a pair of mating coils for inductive wireless power transfer and/or near-field inductive wireless communications). Structures  116  and  114  are wirelessly coupled (e.g., via capacitive or inductive coupling). 
     When it is desired to temporarily couple item  118  to device  10 , magnetic structures  112  may be placed into alignment with magnetic structures  110 , so that structures  112  are magnetically attracted toward structures  110 . This attracts item  118  toward device  10  so that structures  116  and  114  are wirelessly coupled to each other (e.g., so that structures  116  and  114  are capacitively or inductively coupled with each other). Structures  116  and  114  may then be used to transfer power wirelessly and/or to communicate wirelessly. For example, in a scenario in which structure  116  is a capacitor plate and structure  114  is a capacitor plate, the plates may be capacitively coupled so that wireless power can be transferred to item  10  from a power source coupled to item  118  or vice versa and/or so that wireless communications signals can be transmitted from item  118  to device  10  or vice versa. In a scenario in which structure  116  is a coil and structure  114  is a coil, the coils may be inductively coupled so that wireless power can be inductively transferred to device  10  from item  118  or from device  10  to item  118  and/or so that wireless communications signals can be transferred from item  118  to device  10  or from device  10  to item  118 . 
     Multiple electronic devices  10  may be used in a system. For example, a user may operate a first electronic device such as a cellular telephone, tablet computer, or other portable electronic device in the presence of a second electronic device such as a desktop computer. The first and second devices may have displays (e.g., displays facing the user). The first device may be placed in front of the second device (e.g., 0.1-1 m in front of the display in the second device). In this position, the first device and its display may be interposed between the user (e.g., the eyes of the user) and the display of the second device, so that the first device (e.g., the display on the first device) occludes a portion of the display of the second device. 
     The second device may use a camera, a three-dimensional image sensor, magnetic sensors, light-based sensors, and/or other sensors to detect the location of the first device relative to the display of the second device and relative to the user (e.g., the second device may determine the relative location between the first and second devices and user in X, Y, and Z dimensions, angular orientations, etc.). Based on this relative position information, the second device can determine appropriate display content to supply to the first device (e.g., wirelessly) and/or the first device may share visual content and/or other information with the second device. The first device may, for example, receive the content that is provided by the second device and may display this content on a display in the first device. The content that the second device passes to the first device may be, for example, the same content on the display of the second device that is being occluded by the presence of the first device between the user and the second device. In this way, the system may be used to display the content that is occluded on the display of the second device on the display of the first device so that no content is blocked by the presence of the first device. 
     If desired, the system may include multiple electronic devices such as multiple desktop computers, multiple desktop monitors, or other sets of multiple devices with adjacent displays. There may be an air gap between the displays in this system. For example, when two desktop displays are placed on a user&#39;s desk in front of the user, there may be a gap between the right edge of a left-hand display and the opposing left edge of a right-hand display. To help fill the air gap, a projector in the first device and/or a projector in the second device may be used to display filler content on a surface such as a surface that is behind the devices and visible in the gap between the devices. In addition to projecting content behind the devices and/or instead of projecting content rearwardly, gap filler content and/or other content may be projected in front of the devices (e.g., in the vicinity of a keyboard, trackpad, and/or other input-output devices) to help create a visually seamless transition between different areas of displayed content. 
     Cameras, three-dimensional sensors, magnets and corresponding magnetic sensors, sensor circuitry that emits light rays and corresponding sensor circuitry that detects reflected light rays, and/or other sensor circuitry may be used to determine the relative locations of the devices and the user to determine where to project the filler content and to determine what filler content will visually fill detected gaps. 
     As described above, one aspect of the present technology is the gathering and use of information such as information from input-output devices. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, data may be gathered that includes personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to contact or locate a specific person. Such personal information data can include demographic data, location-based data, telephone numbers, email addresses, twitter ID&#39;s, home addresses, data or records relating to a user&#39;s health or level of fitness (e.g., vital signs measurements, medication information, exercise information), date of birth, username, password, biometric information, or any other identifying or personal information. 
     The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to deliver targeted content that is of greater interest to the user. Accordingly, use of such personal information data enables users to calculated control of the delivered content. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. For instance, health and fitness data may be used to provide insights into a user&#39;s general wellness, or may be used as positive feedback to individuals using technology to pursue wellness goals. 
     The present disclosure contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes. Personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection/sharing should occur after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adapted for the particular types of personal information data being collected and/or accessed and adapted to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations. For instance, in the United States, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and/or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), whereas health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly. Hence different privacy practices should be maintained for different personal data types in each country. 
     Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to “opt in” or “opt out” of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services or anytime thereafter. In another example, users can select not to provide certain types of user data. In yet another example, users can select to limit the length of time user-specific data is maintained. In addition to providing “opt in” and “opt out” options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications relating to the access or use of personal information. For instance, a user may be notified upon downloading an application (“app”) that their personal information data will be accessed and then reminded again just before personal information data is accessed by the app. 
     Moreover, it is the intent of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and handled in a way to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting data once it is no longer needed. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect a user&#39;s privacy. De-identification may be facilitated, when appropriate, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.), controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data at a city level rather than at an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and/or other methods. 
     Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of information that may include personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments can also be implemented without the need for accessing personal information data. That is, the various embodiments of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. 
     The foregoing is merely illustrative and various modifications can be made to the described embodiments. The foregoing embodiments may be implemented individually or in any combination.
