Viewer and method for displaying information based on viewer position

摘要

A viewer and method of displaying information with the viewer are provided. The viewer is configured to rest upon a surface that bears coded data and includes memory for storing display information, a sensor for sensing the coded data when the viewer is resting upon the surface, a processor for decoding the sensed coded data, and a display for displaying data to a user. The processor determines the display information based on the sensed coded data and generates and supplies the display data to the display. The generation of the display data includes manipulating a position of the display information based on the sensed coded data so as to take into account the position of the viewer relative to the surface.
