  • Publication number: 20170277229
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus, method and computer program product cooperate to provide a device that changes the way content is displayed depending on an inclination angle of the device. The device includes an inclination acquisition device that acquires inclination information of a display housing that houses a display with a displayed image thereon. A first controller causes a first change to the displayed image according to the inclination information. A second controller causes a second change to the displayed image when a predetermined condition is met with respect to the inclination information. By including subcomponents that cooperate in this manner, the device allows a user to perceive a displayed image at various viewing angles and easily recognize whether certain displayed features are able to be actuated when the device is positioned in a certain inclination angle.
