Patent number: 11550460Abstract: Device orientation techniques and systems are described to modify visual characteristics of edits that support the ability of a computing device to modify visual characteristics of digital objects appearing in a user interface of a mobile device based on orientation of the computing device, itself. A user interaction, for instance, is detected in a user interface of a device. Responsive to the detected user interaction, a multiaxial orientation of the device is determined. In some examples, the orientation is translated into tilt data such as in the form of altitude and azimuth values. A relative amount is calculated based on the orientation. The relative amount is applied to a visual characteristic of an edit to a digital object. Once the relative amount is applied, the digital object having the relative amount applied is displayed in the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Amrita Gangwani, Apoorva
