@GustavinoBevilacqua You'd need more than just an accelerometer for that the up and down motion would get in the way. A gyroscope would do, but they tend to drift, so combining it with an accelerometer for periodic recalibration is pretty standard. Art that point you're basically constructing an artificial horizon out of GUI windows. I wonder if it would help with sea sickness or just make it worse. @motionthings @nixCraft I read that as "tilting window manager" and it made perfect sense π @nixCraft I have a hard enough time trying to keep my monitor exactly horizontal, without trying to find 22 degrees! @nixCraft I discovered adb enabled on someone's Fire Stick. I'm so tempted to abuse this knowledge on a cheap prank. Imagine adding a degree of rotation every 2 minutes... "Hello Amazon! I've just turned my TV on there's been a problem with my Fire Stick for the past 6 hours." "If you just turned your TV on, how do you know there's been a problem for 6 hours?" @nixCraft Thatβs ridiculous for the same reason a round Smartwatch is ridiculous. Thereβs a reason why almost 600 years after Gutenberg books are still rectangles. As nerd I can appreciate the effort, as a productive computer user I donβt see the point. @nixCraft This ist the missing piece to finally make 2024 the year of the Linux desktop π |
@nixCraft read about it yesterday. Just wondering if it would be useful at all if it's not a widescreen deisplay?
