Abstract:
A method, computing device and computer program product for configuring the computing device to utilize a multiple display arrangement. The eye movement of a user is tracked using an eye tracker in response to detecting the user adding a second display unit to the computing device that already includes a display unit. The logical display arrangement of the display units is then determined based on tracking the eye movement of the user. The computing device is then configured to utilize the display units in a particular display arrangement when the logical display arrangement of the display units is verified to match the physical display arrangement of the display units. In this manner, the computing device is accurately configured to utilize multiple displays without requiring the user to manually change the operating system settings of the computing device.
