Abstract
Methods and apparatus to facilitate user interactions with foldable displays are disclosed. A computing device includes a foldable display having a first region, a second region, and a bendable region between the first and second regions. The computing devices includes a hover sensing system associated with the bendable region to detect a hover event, and a touch sensing system associated with at least one of the first region or the second region to detect a touch event. The computing device further includes an operations controller to implement an action on the computing device responsive to at least one of the hover event or the touch event.
