    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods to transmit laser energy to a first hollow-core transmission medium of a board , and to detect laser energy from a second hollow-core transmission medium of the board using a photodiode of the communication interface. A system can include a communication interface configured to be coupled to a chip carrier, the communication interface including a laser emitter configured to transmit laser energy to a first hollow-core transmission medium of a board, and a photodiode configured to detect laser energy communicated from a second hollow-core transmission. The system can further include the chip carrier and the board, as well as one or more alignment features to position the laser emitter and the photodiode over inputs of the first and second hollow-core transmission mediums, and an optically clear resin optionally between the communication interface and the board.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a laser emitter configured to transmit laser energy across an air gap to a separate device, and a driver circuit electrically coupled to the laser emitter and to an electrical interface. The driver circuit is configured to detect voltage levels at the electrical interface including a first voltage level, a second voltage level, and a third voltage level, and drive the laser emitter at a first power level when detecting the first voltage level, drive the laser emitter at a second power level when detecting the second voltage level, and drive the laser emitter at a third power level intermediate the first and second power levels when detecting the third voltage level.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe apparatuses, systems and methods for capturing, selecting and analyzing image data of a user of a computing device display from multiple viewpoints. Embodiments of the invention capture or receive data comprising a plurality of images from an image capture system, wherein the plurality of images comprises images of a user of a computing system from multiple viewpoints. A gaze direction of the user with respect to the display is determined based, at least in part, on the plurality of images. Embodiments further determine a target area on the computing device display based, at least in part, on the determined gaze direction of the user, and execute an application operation in response to determining the target area of the user's gaze.
