Abstract
Systems and method herein describe an electronic display apparatus that is amendable to display different types of visualizations. In an embodiment, the electronic display apparatus has a circular display unit. The electronic display apparatus may display content but with some of the portions cut off from visibility to a user. The electronic display apparatus may include motion sensor units and data obtained from these motion sensor units may be used to cause a video controller to send a portion of the content from a frame buffer to the display device to enable the display of different areas of content. The content displayed to the user may change in accordance with movement initiated by the user.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of displaying content, comprising:
- displaying, via a viewing window of a display device attached to a user, a portion of content, wherein the content is configured to be displayed on a display device that is different from the display device;
- and
- using a processor of the display device to:
- receive data from the one or more motion sensor units comprising an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer based on movement by the user;
- cause a video display controller of the display device to send a portion of content from a frame buffer to the display device based at least in part on the data received from the one or more motion sensor units;
- and
- cause the viewing window to move in a direction in accordance with the movement of the user, wherein the viewing window displays the portion of the content.
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory that stores computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to:
- receive executable code to display content;
- display a portion of the content using a viewing window of a circular display unit, wherein the executable code to display the content is configured for a square display unit;
- receive data from one or more motion sensor units comprising an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer caused by movements initiated by a user attached to the system;
- cause a video display controller of the circular display unit to send a second portion of content from a frame buffer to the display device based at least in part on the data from the one or more motion sensor units;
- and
- cause the second portion of the content to be displayed by adjusting the viewing window to focus on the second portion of the content in accordance with a direction of the movement caused by the user.
A smartwatch, comprising:
- a processor;
- a display unit;
- memory;
- and
- one or more motion sensor units comprising an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- execute code to display a portion of content in a viewing window of the display unit, wherein the code is configured to be executed by a display unit different from the display unit of the smartwatch;
- obtain data from each of the one or more motion sensor units caused by movements initiated by a user;
- cause a video display controller of the display unit to send a second portion of content from a frame buffer to the display device based at least in part on the data received from the one or more motion sensor units;
- and
- cause the display unit to alter the viewing window in the same direction corresponding to movements initiated by the user and display the second portion of the content.
