Patent Images
1. A system for altering a computer generated image of an object displayed upon a display device, the system comprising:
- a display device orientation measurement module for obtaining a measure of a spatial orientation of the display device; and
a mobile processing module for generating the computer generated image of an object;
wherein the computer generated image of the object is generated using the measurements of the spatial orientation of the display device to determine a displayed orientation of the object.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture altering a displayed image presented to a user on a viewing device using a user-controlled orientation of the viewing device to determine how the displayed image is to be presented. The viewing device includes a plurality of gyroscope sensors that are used to determine the orientation of the viewing device. As the user moves the orientation of the viewing device, the gyroscope sensors detect the change in the device orientation. These changes in orientation are used to alter the image being displayed upon the viewing device.
