Monitor orientation awareness

Abstract

A system and method for processing video data related to configurable monitor orientations. A graphics processing unit (GPU) is connected to one or more monitors. Orientation information associated with a given monitor of the one or more monitors is stored. The orientation information includes at least a three-dimensional set of coordinates indicating a location of the given monitor with respect to a user. The orientation information may also include an indication of a rotation of the given monitor with respect to at least the user and possibly another monitor. In response to determining updated orientation information is available, a graphics driver sends it to the processor when the processor requests it. The processor adjusts graphics commands based on the updated orientation information. The graphics driver directs the GPU to render data associated with an image presented on the given monitor with the adjusted commands based on the updated orientation information.
