Scaling display contents based on user-to-screen distance

Abstract:

A system is described for scaling display content on a computing device based on user-to-device distance. A measurement is taken of the distance between the user and the device and a scaling setting is determined using a predefined rule based on the measured distance. The scaling setting is applied to scale content on the display based on the user-to-device distance by changing settings in the operating system or changing scaling in an application. Embodiments include virtual desktop/application and localized implementations.
