determine that the facial direction of the user does not align with the relative angular orientation of the physical display;

dynamically determine a configuration of an adjustable display area for displaying the content to the user based on the relative angular orientation of the physical display and the user's facial direction; and

initiate the display of the content on the adjustable display area in a content layout mode, wherein a portion of the adjustable display area comprises a virtual display created by the projection of content by one or more projectors of the mobile device,

wherein the content is projected towards the user's facial direction, and

wherein the content layout mode is independent of an orientation of the physical display.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the adjustable display area comprises the virtual display area and the physical display of the mobile device.

11. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the adjustable display area has a size that is greater than a size of the physical display of the mobile device.

12. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the configuration of the adjustable display area comprises a size of the adjustable display area and a directional orientation of the adjustable display area, wherein the directional orientation is based on the relative angular orientation of the physical display and the user's facial direction.

13. The computer program product of claim 9 , further comprising program instructions to cause the mobile device to:

determine a content type for the content; and

determine a content layout mode for the content based on the content type, wherein the content layout mode comprises a landscape layout mode and a portrait layout mode, wherein the initiating the display of the content comprises initiating the display of the content in the determined content layout mode.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , further comprising program instructions to cause the mobile device to receive and store mapping data that maps a plurality of content types to respective layout modes, wherein the determining the content layout mode for the content based on the content type is performed utilizing the mapping data.

15. The computer program product of claim 9 , further comprising program instructions to cause the mobile device to:

detect a user interaction with the adjustable display area; and

initiate a mobile device function based on the detection of the user interaction.

16. The computer program product of claim 9 , further comprising program instructions to cause the mobile device to:

detect a content-free portion of the physical display; and

initiate display of supplemental content in the content-free portion of the physical display.

17. A mobile device for the display of visually aligned content, comprising:

one or more sensors;

one or more cameras;
