ANAMORPHIC DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- communication circuitry receiving information to be displayed;
context-aware circuitry determining a current context of the device;
a processor morphing at least a portion of the text to create anamorphic text based on the current context of the device; and
a display, displaying the anamorphic text.

Abstract
An anamorphic display device is provided herein. The display device produces anamorphically-displayed elements via a visual three-dimensional illusion for two-dimensional content element of a viewing surface. Context-aware circuitry may determine a viewpoint, and the viewpoint can be used to determine an angle where viewing ray intersects the viewing surface. A geometric algorithm is used to reconstruct the two-dimensional content element appropriately on the viewing surface. The observer can observe the three-dimensional illusion of the two-dimensional content element out of the plane viewing surface in the observer'"'"'s perspective at the viewpoint, as if the original two-dimensional content element were placed in the three-dimensional space. This allows easier viewing of material at off angles.
