Abstract

Systems, methods, and media for adjusting one or more images displayed to a viewer are provided. In some implementations, the system comprises: at least one processing circuit configured to: detect an orientation of a viewer based on at least two points associated with the viewer; determine, based on the orientation, a rotational position of a first image to be displayed on a display; and generate a display image for display on the display, wherein the display image includes at least a portion of the first image rotated based on the rotational position.

Claims (46)

1. A method for adjusting one or more images displayed to a viewer, comprising:

detecting an orientation of a viewer;

determining, based on the orientation of the viewer, an angle of rotation of an image to be displayed on a display;

determining a rotational limit for the angle of rotation of the image;

generating a display image to be displayed on the display, wherein the display image includes at least a portion of the image rotated by the angle of rotation and subject to the rotational limit; and

causing the display image to be presented on the display.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the orientation of the viewer is determined based on a device worn by the viewer.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a position of the viewer.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a state of eyes of the viewer; and

updating a presentation of the rotated portion of the image on the display based on the state of the eyes of the viewer.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining positions of eyes of the viewer; and

updating a presentation of the rotated portion of the image on the display based on the positions of the eyes of the viewer.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the orientation of the viewer comprises detecting a lean of a head of the viewer.

7. A system for adjusting one or more images displayed to a viewer, comprising:

a hardware processor that is programmed to:

detect an orientation of a viewer;

determine, based on the orientation of the viewer, an angle of rotation of an image to be displayed on a display;

determine a rotational limit for the angle of rotation of the image;

generate a display image to be displayed on the display, wherein the display image includes at least a portion of the image rotated by the angle of rotation and subject to the rotational limit; and

cause the display image to be presented on the display.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the orientation of the viewer is determined based on a device worn by the viewer.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to determine a position of the viewer.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to:

determine a state of eyes of the viewer; and

update a presentation of the rotated portion of the image on the display based on the state of the eyes of the viewer.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to:

determine positions of eyes of the viewer; and

update a presentation of the rotated portion of the image on the display based on the positions of the eyes of the viewer.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein detecting the orientation of the viewer comprises detecting a lean of a head of the viewer.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for adjusting one or more images displayed to a viewer, the method comprising:

detecting an orientation of a viewer;

determining, based on the orientation of the viewer, an angle of rotation of an image to be displayed on a display;

determining a rotational limit for the angle of rotation of the image;

generating a display image to be displayed on the display, wherein the display image includes at least a portion of the image rotated by the angle of rotation and subject to the rotational limit; and

causing the display image to be presented on the display.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the orientation of the viewer is determined based on a device worn by the viewer.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises determining a position of the viewer.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining a state of eyes of the viewer; and

updating a presentation of the rotated portion of the image on the display based on the state of the eyes of the viewer.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining positions of eyes of the viewer; and

updating a presentation of the rotated portion of the image on the display based on the positions of the eyes of the viewer.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein detecting the orientation of the viewer comprises detecting a lean of a head of the viewer.
