presenting a first visual indicator on a display of the information handling device reflecting the first position of the at least one additional device when paired with the information handling device and a second visual indicator on the display of the at least one additional device reflecting the first position of the at least one additional device; receiving input for adjusting a position of at least one of the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator, wherein the input aligns the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator based upon the second position; and aligning, based upon the input, the display of the information handling device and the display of the at least one additional device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: receiving, at a device alignment system, an indication of an adjustment of a position of a display of at least one additional device paired with a display of an information handling device from a first position; presenting, utilizing a graphical user interface of the device alignment system, a first visual indicator on the display of the information handling device reflecting the first position of the at least one additional device when paired with the information handling device and a second visual indicator on the display of the at least one additional device reflecting the first position of the at least one additional device; receiving, from a user within the graphical user interface, input for adjusting a position of at least one of the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator, wherein the input aligns the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator based upon the second position; and aligning, utilizing the device alignment system and based upon the input, the display of the information handling device and the display of the at least one additional device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the indication comprises detecting a movement of the at least one additional device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the detecting a movement comprises detecting at least one of: a change in an orientation of the at least one additional device, a change in a planar direction of the at least one additional device, and a change in a relative location of the at least one additional device with respect to the information handling device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, comprising presenting, responsive to aligning the display, an indication of the user of a successful realignment of the display of the information handling device and the display of the at least one additional device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the aligning comprises calculating a relative position of the at least one additional device with respect to the information handling device based upon the input and wherein the aligning is based upon the relative position. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the aligning comprises calculating a pixel offset based upon the relative position. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the input comprises receiving a drag-and-drop input on the at least one of the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the input comprises receiving an indication from the user that the input adjusting the position of at least one of the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator is complete. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the aligning is automatically performed upon detecting alignment of the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the presenting comprises presenting a blurred overlay across an input area on the display of the information handling device and presenting the graphical user interface over the blurred overlay. ### Claim 11 A system, the system comprising: an information handling device comprising a display; at least one additional device comprising a display; a processor; a memory device that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to: receive, at a device alignment system, an indication of an adjustment of a position of the display of the at least one additional device paired with the information handling device from a first position to a second position; present, utilizing a graphical user interface of the device alignment system, a first visual indicator on the display of the information handling device reflecting the first position of the at least one additional device when paired with the information handling device and a second visual indicator on the display of the at least one additional device reflecting the first position of the at least one additional device; receive, from a user within the graphical user interface, input adjusting a position of at least one of the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator, wherein the input aligns the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator based upon the second position; and align, utilizing the device alignment system and based upon the input, the display of the information handling device and the display of the at least one additional device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the receiving the indication comprise detecting a movement of the at least one additional device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the detecting a movement comprises detecting at least one of: a change in orientation of the at least one device, a change in a planar direction of the at least one additional device, and a change in a relative location of the at least one additional device with respect to the information handling device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, comprising presenting, responsive to aligning the display, an indication to the user of a successful realignment of the display of the information handling device and the display of the at least one additional device. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the aligning comprises calculating a relative position of the at least one additional device with respect to the information handling device based upon the input and wherein the aligning is based upon the relative position. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein the aligning comprises calculating a pixel offset based upon the relative position. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the receiving the input comprises receiving a drag-and-drop input on the at least one of the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the receiving input comprises receiving an indication from the user that the input adjusting the position of at least one of the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator is complete. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the aligning is automatically performed upon detecting alignment of the first visual indicator and the second visual indicator. ### Claim 20 A product, the product comprising: a computer-readable storage device the stores executable code that, when executed by a processor, causes the product to: receive, at a device alignment system, an indication of an adjustment of a position of a display of at least one additional device paired with a display of an information handling device from a first position to a second position; present, utilizing a graphical user interface of the device alignment system, a first visual indicator on the display of the information handling device reflecting the first position of the at least one additional device when paired with the information handling device and a second visual indicator on the display of the at least one additional device reflecting the first position of the at least one additional device;
