1. A method for adjusting a viewing angle of a display, the method comprising the steps of:
- a computing device determining a location of a viewer of the display;
the computing device determining an angle of sun light incident to the display;
the computing device determining, based on the location of the viewer of the display and the angle of the sun light incident to the display, an adjusted angle of the display relative to the viewer of the display to substantially avoid glare on the viewer of the display caused by the sun light incident on the display and controlling a motor for the display to move the display to the adjusted angle of the display relative to the viewer of the display.
