Abstract
Methods and apparatus for invoking a security feature of a computing device display in response to detecting an onlooker based on depth data are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an onlooker detector and a security manager. The onlooker detector is to detect an onlooker based on depth sensor data collected by a depth sensor associated with a computing device. The security manager is to automatically invoke a security feature of a display of the computing device in response to detection of the onlooker by the onlooker detector.
