Hello.
I have an LCD monitor and I would like able to change screen ratio based on the position of it. I want to use it for reading, arcade games and more.
I found a tiny project called TiltStick (http://www.harbaum.org/till/tiltstick/). This is a tiny usb project that features a tilt sensor and is presented to the computer as a regular gamepad device (but needs a bit of recalibration for working properly), so there's not need of special drivers at all.
The "problem" is that the tilt sensor is two axis, so maybe is a bit too much featured for this task. The sensor is relatively costly in small quantities too.
The idea is to put it on one of the USB hubs and run a software for the "auto pivot" function.
Regards.
