Abstract
Systems and methods are described for distance-based user interfaces. A distance between a user and a display can be determined. The distance between the user and the display can be determined based on a signal strength of a signal from a remote control. The distance between the user and the display can be determined based on audio signals received by a control device. A user interface can be modified based on the determined distance.

A method comprising:
- determining, by a device, a signal strength of a signal from a remote control to the device;
- determining, based on the signal strength, a distance between the remote control and the device;
- generating, based on the distance, a user interface;
- and
- causing output of the user interface.
