Hey everyone,
I just saw an option on my mobile phone regarding display settings, that I thought would benefit X.org's usability and your wallets. I have no clue what required effort would be, but I guess it would be nice for a Summer Of Code project?
What is it?
Dynamic display brightness.
What the hell does it mean?
The brightness of the screen goes up/down depending on light shining on the screen.
How does it work?
There's a front camera on my phone (that point towards whoever looks at the screen) and it checks for brightness (I think, it might also be a light sencor, but it doesn't matter) and whenever the sun is shining on my screen, my phone automatically ups the brightness.
What are the benefits?
Well, the user never has to re-adjust the brightness of the monitor.
The displayed image will always be at optimal brightness, so you can look at it when you're outside with your laptop and at night it will make sure you don't screw with your eyes.
In come cases it saves power and thus battery life of laptops.
