Abstract

One or more elements are initially displayed on a display component of an electronic device. After the one or more elements have been displayed on the display component of the electronic device, an image of a user of the electronic device is captured, and an orientation of the electronic device relative to the user is determined based on the captured image of the user of the electronic device. Thereafter, an orientation of at least one of the displayed elements is adjusted relative to the display component of the electronic device based on the determined orientation of the electronic device relative to the user.
