Abstract

A computing device (e.g., a mobile phone, camera, tablet computer, etc.) may include an integrated display device (e.g., a presence-sensitive screen) at which a user interface is presented. The computing device may automatically rotate the presentation of the user interface based on an orientation of the display device (e.g., as detected by one or more motion or orientation sensors). For instance, when the display device is orientated lengthwise, the computing device may present the user interface in landscape. Similarly, when the display device is oriented widthwise, the computing device may present the user interface in portrait. In some cases, it may not be desirable for the computing device to automatically rotate the presentation of all user interface content. As such, in some examples, the computing device may only automatically rotate specific types of content (e.g., video content) based on the orientation of the display device and leave content other than the specific types of content unrotated (regardless of the orientation of the display device).
