Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for notifying a user when a device including a camera has moved from a desired orientation. The orientation of the camera can be determined by one or more sensors and/or image processing techniques. The user may be notified with a non-visual cue, such as an audible sound or a haptic alert. In some aspects, a user may be notified when the device including the camera is substantially level.
