Microsoft's new system can also calculate the distance of the user's eye based on measured data. The new laptop is expected to use the distance to calculate a correction factor.

Innovation is currently a big deal since many places do not have comfortable space where people can work properly.

This can be seen when people are trying to use a laptop when they are on an airplane. Many passengers usually can't place the laptop at a comfortable viewing distance and angle.

This can greatly affect the user's perspectives when viewing information on their laptop's display.

How it automatically corrects the display

Microsoft's new patent explained that the innovation offers an effective method that can automatically correct the displayed information and mitigate perspective distortion based on changes in orientation. It can also identify display orientations that minimize perceived distortion.

The new laptop is also expected to use different sensors that can measure the screen relative's orientation to the user and identify changes away from the orientation that minimizes perceived perspective.
