Dependent claims

A device, comprising:

at least one processor;
at least one display, the at least one display comprising a left eye portion and a right eye portion, the at least one display being accessible to the at least one processor;
and
storage accessible to the at least one processor and comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
present, using the device, first content on one of the left eye portion and the right eye portion so that the first content is viewable respectively using one of a user's left eye and the user's right eye but not the other of the user's left eye and the user's right eye;
receive first user input to switch presentation of the first content from one of the left eye portion and the right eye portion to the other of the left eye portion and the right eye portion;
and
based on receipt of the first user input, use the device to present the first content on the other of the left eye portion and the right eye portion so that the first content is viewable respectively using one of a user's left eye and the user's right eye but not the other of the user's left eye and the user's right eye.

A method, comprising:

using eye tracking software to determine, at a device, that a user's left eye is closed and that the user's right eye is open;
based on the determination using the eye tracking software that the user's left eye is closed and that the user's right eye is open, controlling the device to present first content on a right eye portion of at least one display of a device but not a left eye portion of the at least one display of the device;
using the eye tracking software to determine, at the device, that the user has transitioned from left eye closed, right eye open to both eyes open, the user transitioning left eye closed, right eye open to both eyes open being identified as input to present second content on both the left and right eye portions, the second content being different from the first content;
and
controlling the device to present, based on receipt of the input, the second content on both the left and right eye portions.
