  • Automatic display adjustment based on viewing angle
    Patent number: 11002999
    Abstract: Described herein is a mechanism for automatically correcting perspective of displayed information based on the orientation of the display device. A user can identify a screen orientation where the displayed information does not need perspective correction. The system can monitor changes to the display orientation, and when the orientation changes, the system can measure the distance to a user's eye or calculate the distance based on measured data. Based on the distance, a correction factor can be calculated. An area in the display where corrected information will be displayed is identified. The currently displayed information is corrected based on the correction factor and displayed in the identified display area.
