Three-dimensional models (or avatars) may be defined based on imaging data captured from a customer. The avatars may be based on a virtual mannequin having one or more dimensions in common with the customer, a body template corresponding to the customer, or imaging data captured from the customer. The avatars are displayed on displays or in user interfaces and used for any purpose, such as to depict how clothing will appear or behave while being worn by a customer alone or with other clothing. Customers may drag-and-drop images of clothing onto the avatars. One or more of the avatars may be displayed on any display, such as a monitor or a virtual reality headset, which may depict the avatars in a static or dynamic mode. Images of avatars and clothing may be used to generate print catalogs depicting the appearance or behavior of the clothing while worn by the customer.

Multiple head-mounted devices and/or other electronic devices can operate in concert to provide multiple users with shared experiences and content enjoyment. Such operations can be facilitated by a connection between multiple head-mounted devices and/or other electronic devices to allow different users to receive content. Such a connection can be made possible by a connector that directly and physically connects head-mounted devices and/or other electronic devices to each other and transmits signals there between. By providing a physical connection, the signals can be efficiently transmitted even when other types of connections (e.g., wireless) are not available

An electronic device (e.g., smartphone) can be connected to an external display device, allowing the electronic device to display content on the external display device. The external display device can be a standalone display device or be part of another electronic device (e.g., a laptop or tablet). The electronic device supports multiple input styles including a gesture-based input style and a non-gesture-based input style. The electronic device adapts to the external display device by using the gesture-based input style if the external display device is touch enabled and using the non-gesture-based if the external display is not touch enabled. Additionally or alternatively, the external display device adapts to the input style being used by the electronic device by displaying an augmentation bar associated with the content and supporting the non-gesture-based input style when the external display device detects that the electronic device is using the gesture-based input style.

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that includes a display and is configured enabling a low power refresh during a semi-active workload. The electronic device includes a display engine, where the display engine generates a video stream with a frame rate, a display, where the display includes an image viewable by a user and the image is refreshed at a first refresh rate, and a timing controller located in the display, where the timing control receives an indicator from the display engine and uses the indicator to determine that the first refresh rate can be lowered to a second refresh rate without the frame rate of the video stream from the display engine being changed. In an example, the indicator is frame with no image data at the start of the frame. In another example, the indicator is an implicit indictor sent by the display engine.

An electronic device according to an example embodiment includes: a touch panel configured to sense a touch input; a display panel configured to output an image; a touch and display driver integration (TDDI) configured to control the touch panel and the display panel; and an interface circuit for data interfacing with a host, wherein the TDDI is configured to receive touch firmware data from the host via the interface circuit, and manage the touch firmware data by using at least one of a first volatile memory included in the interface circuit and the TDDI.

The electronic device adapts to the external display device by using the gesture-based input style if the external display device is touch enabled and using the non-gesture-based if the external display is not touch enabled.

Disclosed are a method for displaying handwritten input content, an electronic device and a non-volatile computer readable storage medium. The method includes: acquiring handwritten input content; modifying image stored in a display cache based on the handwritten input content, and synchronizing a modified image to a display screen; and drawing the handwritten input content in a custom graphic layer located above other graphic layers in a system cache, performing a graphic layer merging operation for the other graphic layers and the custom graphic layer, and replacing the modified image stored in the display cache in response to a result of the operation.

A method for processing data for display on a screen involves encoding, using a first colour space, a first portion of image data intended to be displayed on a first area of the screen and encoding, using a second colour space, a second portion of image data intended to be displayed on a second area of the screen. The encoded first and second portions of the image data are compressed, and transmitted over a link for display on the screen. By using different colour spaces to encode image data that is displayed in different parts of a screen, differences in a users vision and/or aberrations caused by display equipment may be accounted for and so provide an improved user experience. Using different colour spaces for different screen areas may also reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, for example by encoding image data more effectively and/or allowing more efficient compression of data.

A method of providing signal level performance information with respect to an electronic component is described. The electronic component includes a signal input. An input signal is received at the signal input or immediately upstream of the signal input. At least one power level parameter is determined, wherein the power level parameter is indicative of a power level of the input signal received. A performance indicator is provided, which includes information on a performance of the electronic component in dependence of the at least one power level parameter. A signal level performance information is determined with respect to the electronic component based on the at least one determined power level parameter and based on the performance indicator. Further, a monitoring system is described.

A video display includes a display panel with gate drivers and source drivers. Each of said the source drivers is arranged to receive a discrete-time continuous-amplitude signal representing a video stream over a transmission medium and to decode the signal using demodulation to produce a plurality of samples for output on outputs of the source drivers. At least one of the source drivers is arranged to extract a gate driver timing control signal from the signal and to output the gate driver control signal to the gate drivers in order to synchronize the gate drivers with outputs of the source drives, whereby the video stream is displayed on the display panel of the display unit.
