Abstract
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture altering a displayed image presented to a user on a viewing device using the proximity of the user to the viewing device to determine how the displayed image is to be presented. The viewing device includes a plurality of proximity sensors that are used to determine the location of a user to the viewing device. As the user moves his or her position relative to the viewing device, the proximity sensors detect the change in the user position. These changes in detected position are used to alter the image being displayed upon the viewing device.
