Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for orientation inclusive interface navigation, comprising: capturing image data representative of image content including at least a portion of a head of a user, the image data being captured using at least one image sensor on a computing device; determining a position of the head of the user relative to the computing device based at least in part on the captured image data; determining an initial orientation of the computing device based at least in part on the determined position of the head of the user; determining that a change in a current orientation of the computing device relative to the initial orientation is greater than a threshold, the threshold related to at least one of an angle and a speed of rotation of the computing device; determining a direction associated with the change to the current orientation relative to the initial orientation; determining the speed of rotation corresponding to the change to the current orientation relative to the initial orientation; and adjusting a playback rate of at least one of video or audio content by an amount corresponding to the direction, the angle, and the speed of rotation associated with the change to the current orientation relative to the initial orientation.
