Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosed technology comprise a handheld display device with built-in accelerometer and, in some embodiments, compass. The display of a human figure is changed based on a change in viewpoint/orientation of the device. That is, upon detecting a change in viewpoint (e.g., viewing angle, tilt, roll, or pitch of the device), the image of the person changes. This may be used with a still picture of a person, such as for the sale of clothing, or in conjunction with moving images, such as for a sports or exercise instructional video.

47. A method of changing an image of an object displayed on a portable device having a processor, and having a display screen forming a plane, comprising, with the processor of the portable device:
-
(a) at a first time, causing the display screen to display a first image depicting an object in an initial orientation; and (b) at a second time, later than the first time, based on a change between the first time and the second time in a reference angle formed between the plane of the display screen and a select direction, which reference angle is determined from data produced by a sensor of the portable device, causing the display screen to display a second image depicting at least a portion of the object in a modified orientation different from the initial orientation. - View Dependent Claims (48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61)

62. A portable display device comprising:
-
(a) a display screen forming a plane; (b) a sensor; (c) a storage device containing image data of an object; (d) a computer processor responsive to the sensor, coupled to the storage device, and controlling the display screen, which computer processor; (i) determines, from data produced by the sensor, a reference angle formed between the plane of the display screen and a select direction; (ii) at a first time, causes the display screen to display a first image depicting an object in an initial orientation; and (iii) at a second time, later than the first time, based on a change between the first time and the second time in the reference angle causes the display screen to display a second image depicting at least a portion of the object in a modified orientation different from the initial orientation. - View Dependent Claims (63, 64, 65, 66, 67)
