Did you mean stage left? I assume that you want to extend the "facing" enumeration to encompass new properties: "rear": pointed (approximately) from the device to the space directly away from the device user "front": pointed (approximately) from the device directly toward the device user "left" pointed (approximately) from the device to the space to the device user's left "right" pointed (approximately) from the device to the space to the device user's right I'm sure that you could add to this list arbitrarily: "above", "behind", ... That's the slippery slope that leads to a description of the orientation and coverage of all cameras (in steradians), likely related to the orientation and position of the device display, i.e.: http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source-orientation.html#rotations On 27 March 2013 08:23, Cullen Jennings <fluffy@iii.ca> wrote: > > On Mar 27, 2013, at 8:41 AM, Cullen Jennings <fluffy@iii.ca> wrote: > >> >> On Mar 26, 2013, at 2:51 PM, Harald Alvestrand <harald@alvestrand.no> wrote: >> >>> On 03/26/2013 09:14 PM, Cullen Jennings wrote: >>>> On Mar 25, 2013, at 3:37 AM, Harald Alvestrand <harald@alvestrand.no> wrote: >>>> >>>>>> 2) facing is too limited.
