Abstract
Systems and methods for alleviating neck pain during media consumption. The methods and systems comprise determining, using control circuitry a current orientation of each of a user's head and a user device, determining an environmental parameter relating to the user's environment, determining a range of permitted orientations of the user's head based on the environmental parameter and the current orientations of the user's head and the user device, determining, using control circuitry, whether the orientation of the user's head is outside of the range of permitted orientations, and in response to determining that the orientation of the user's head is outside of a range of permitted orientations, causing, using control circuitry, a change in a mode of display of the user device.
