A universal support apparatus for supporting different camera enabled mobile computer devices, such as laptop computers, tablets and cell phones, that have a display screen and camera coverage areas in front of the display screen and that are used for creating video sessions such as for on-line meetings, webinars and podcasts. The support apparatus includes mobile device support platform configured to support a laptop computer such that it's folded out display screen and camera can be positioned to face the user and an adaptor for the mobile device support platform for holding planar tablets, cell phones and the like in the same or similar user facing orientation.

A system and method may be used to position or orient a camera within a surgical field. A method may include generating a graphical user interface including a first set of instructions to reposition the camera, and determining whether the camera is within a target volume location. The method may include automatically outputting an indication when the camera is within the target volume location. The method may include outputting a second set of instructions for display on the graphical user interface to align a laser, coupled to or integrated into the camera, to the tracker by changing an angle of the camera.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to automatic monitor position adjustment. An indication that an application is being launched is received. A preferred monitor position for the application is determined by referencing a data store mapping preferred monitor positions to respective metadata attributes, where the preferred monitor position for the application is determined based on the preferred monitor position being mapped to a first metadata attribute associated with the application within the data store. An actuator associated with the monitor is then instructed to adjust the position of the monitor to the preferred monitor position.

Display and audio systems and methods for controlling positioning of displays and speakers based on viewer and listener attention are disclosed. According to an aspect, a display system includes a selectively adjust a viewing angle of a display for one or more viewers. The display system also includes a motorized mechanism that controllably positions the display in one of the positions. An attention detection system is configured to acquire movement and position data of the viewer(s). The attention detection system is also configured to determine whether attention of the viewer(s) is directed to the display based on the acquired data. Further, the attention detection system is configured to control the support assembly to adjust the viewing angle of the display for viewing by the viewer(s) in response to determining that the attention of the viewer(s) is directed to the display.

In at least one embodiment a mounting bracket is disclosed having a body portion having a proximal outer surface and a distal outer surface, at least one transversely extending slot and at least one longitudinally extending slot extending therethrough, a first and second outwardly projecting retaining arm slidably received in the at least one transversely extending slot and movable between a first retracted position and a second extended position, a first vertically and second vertically projecting retaining arm slidably received in one of the at least one longitudinally extending slot and movable between a first retracted position and a second extended position, each of the first outwardly projecting retaining arm, second outwardly projecting retaining arm, first vertically projecting retaining arm and second vertically projecting retaining arm has at least one bend and a distal end, the distal end having a first vertically projecting retaining hook adapted for receiving an edge of an electronic device.

A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket coupleable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.
