Systems and methods for adaptively modifying presentation of media content

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• a control circuitry;
• and
• an input/output (I/O) circuitry configured to:
• present content in a content area of a display device, wherein the content is stored in the memory;
• wherein the control circuitry is configured to:
• determine an actual size of the content area in which the content is being presented;
• calculate an apparent size of the content area for a user based at least in part on the actual size of the content area and a distance between the user and the display device, wherein the apparent size corresponds to an angle of a field of view of the user occupied by the content area of the display device;
• compare the apparent size to a first size threshold, wherein the first size threshold corresponds to a first threshold percentage of the actual size of the content area;
• based at least in part on determining that the apparent size is smaller than the first size threshold, compare the apparent size to a second size threshold, wherein the second size threshold corresponds to a second threshold percentage of the actual size of the content area, and wherein the second threshold percentage is smaller than the first threshold percentage;
• and
• based at least in part on comparing the apparent size to the second size threshold:
• identify a spatial portion of the content containing a current focus;
• wherein the I/O circuitry is configured to:
• generate for display the spatial portion in the content area;
• determine a zoom factor;
• and
• modify a zoom level of the spatial portion based at least in part on the zoom factor.
