1. A portable information handling system comprising:

  • a planar housing having at least three rotationally coupled portions;

    a processor disposed in the planar housing and operable to execute instructions to generate visual information;

    a memory disposed in the planar housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the information;

    a display disposed in the planar housing over the at least three rotationally coupled portions and interfaced with the processor and the memory, the display operable to present the information as visual images, the display comprising a flexible film that folds responsive to rotation of the at least three rotationally coupled portions;

    a graphics processor interfaced with the display and operable to process the visual information to generate pixel information, the pixel information defining the visual images for presentation on the display;

    one or more sensors interfaced with the planar housing and operable to detect a relative position of the at least three rotationally coupled portions to each other; and

    a user interface orientation module interfaced with the one or more sensors and the graphics processor, the user interface orientation module operable to apply the relative position of the at least three rotationally coupled portions to adapt the visual images presented at each of the at least three rotationally coupled portions, the visual images including a first content displayed at all of the at least three rotationally coupled portions in a planar landscape orientation, the first content and a second content displayed at first and second of the at least three rotationally coupled portions in a folded landscape orientation, and the first content and the second content presented at each of the at least three rotationally coupled portions in a folded portrait orientation.
