Abstract

As mobile devices are used in various environments, ambient light and wide viewing direction impair a display's perceived display quality. To combat these effects, we introduce SUAVE, our Sensor-based User-Aware Viewing Enhancement system. SUAVE senses the ambient light and viewing direction and applies corresponding image enhancements to the display content, increasing its usability. SUAVE employs a parameter calibration process to help users select suitable image enhancements for particular viewing contexts. We report implementations of SUAVE on a Motorola Xoom Tablet and an Apple iPhone 4.
