Abstract: A foldable playback device comprises a first enclosure housing a first transducer, a second enclosure housing a second transducer, a hinge movably connecting the first and second transducers, and an adaptive user interface disposed on the hinge. The hinge enables movement of the first or second enclosures to position the foldable playback device in different physical orientations. The adaptive user interface enables controlling different playback and device settings while adapting to the different physical orientations to provide accessibility in any orientation. Based on evaluating environmental, media, or device characteristics, the foldable playback device may determine a given orientation for optimizing a playback experience, and may output an audio and/or a visual recommendation of the given orientation for manual positioning of the foldable playback device, or may dynamically position the foldable playback device in the given orientation.
