Abstract
A dynamically reconfigurable touch screen system includes a first display having a first touch screen, a second display having a second touch screen, the second display being operatively connected to the first display, at least one sensor operatively associated with one of the first and second displays. The at least one sensor detects a physical orientation of the one of the first and second touch screens. The dynamically reconfigurable touch screen system further includes a controller linked to the at least one sensor. The controller sets a display of the other of the first and second touch screens based on the physical orientation of the one of the first and second touch screens.
