Abstract
An electronic device includes an external panel material having an exterior visual characteristic that can be dynamically changed by a device-generated trigger. A controller of the device is communicatively coupled to at least one orientation sensor. The controller receives an input corresponding to a first context pre-identified as a condition that triggers a change in the exterior visual characteristic of the material. The controller identifies from sensor input received from the at least one orientation sensor whether the electronic device is in a first orientation that enables the external panel to be visible to a device user. In response to the electronic device being in the first orientation concurrently with receiving the input corresponding to the first context, the controller generates and transmits a change activation signal that changes the exterior visual characteristic of the external panel material from a first visible state to a second visible state.
