Abstract
A mobile electronic device can include one or more gyroscopes that each produces a controlled gyroscopic torque. An event is detected by the mobile electronic device. Characteristics of gyroscopic torque to be transmitted to the mobile electronic device may be determined. The spatial orientation of the mobile electronic device is altered by generating gyroscopic torque or torques with the gyroscope.
