Abstract
A personal display system with which a user may adjust the configuration of displayed media is provided. The personal display system may include an electronic device operative to provide media to a personal display device operative to display the received media. Using one or more optical and digital components, the personal display device may adjust displayed media to overlay features of a theater, thus giving the user of the personal display device the impression of being in the theater. In some embodiments, the personal display device may receive a user selection of a seat in the theater from which to watch the media, and may adjust the media display accordingly. In some embodiments, the personal display device may detect the user'"'"'s movements using one or more sensors and may adjust the displayed image based on the user'"'"'s movements. For example, the device may detect a user'"'"'s head movement and cause the portion of media displayed to reflect the head movement.
