Abstract: Techniques for scale factor based on viewing distance are described. In at least some embodiments, a viewing distance refers to a distance at which a user typically views and/or is viewing a display device. For instance, different displays can be used in different ways and for different purposes, and thus may have different viewing distances. Techniques discussed herein consider the estimated viewing distance of a particular display in determining a scale factor to be applied to visual elements (e.g., graphics) for output via the particular display. A scale factor, for instance, can specify that visual elements are to zoomed-out or zoomed-in prior to be displayed. As detailed herein, this enables a consistent viewing experience to be maintained across different devices with different display sizes and different viewing distances.

Abstract: Techniques for interaction with lists are described. In implementations, a wrapped list window is presented in response to an item being selected that enables a user to navigate (e.g., via panning and/or scrolling) a list of items to view other selectable items. In at least some embodiments, a user can select the item and navigate the list via a single interaction. In implementations, a list separator is implemented in a wrapped list that delineates a separation between a last item in a list of items and a first item in the list. Further to implementations, logic is employed to determine whether to display a list of items as a linear list or a wrapped list. The logic can further specify rules for determining how to configure specific types of lists on a display screen.
