Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to determining the relative orientation of computing device portions that are rotatable relative to one another. One example provides a computing device comprising a first portion comprising a first three-dimensional orientation sensor system, a second portion comprising a second three-dimensional orientation sensor system, the second portion being rotatable relative to the first portion, a logic machine, and a storage machine holding instructions executable by the logic machine to receive data from the first three-dimensional orientation sensor system indicating a three-dimensional orientation of the first portion, receive data from the second three-dimensional orientation sensor system indicating a three-dimensional orientation of the second portion, determine a relative orientation between the first portion and the second portion based on the three-dimensional orientation of the first portion and the three-dimensional orientation of the second portion, and adjust a function of the computing device based on the relative orientation.
