Abstract
A mobile computing device is provided that comprises a housing having a first part and a second part coupled by a hinge, the first part including a first display and the second part including a second display, wherein the hinge is configured to permit the first and second displays to rotate between angular orientations from a face-to-face angular orientation to a back-to-back angular orientation. The mobile computing device further includes a camera mounted in the first part of the housing and configured to capture image data, the camera and the first display both facing a first direction, and a processor mounted in the housing. In the back-to-back angular orientation, the processor is configured to cause the second display to display the image data while simultaneously causing the first display to display the image data and secondary content.
