UI scale
UI scale
UC-1: UI is downscaled on the client device
Description
- As an application i would like to know how the UI is perceived by the end-user
- The cloud browser renders the UI on 1920x1080 resolution
- The client is only capable of displaying 1280x720 only
- cloud browser downscale the UI to 1280x720
- Typical example: the UI is specifically authored for a higher resolution or the UI is displayed in a other way (e.g. in a PiP on a TV). The screen properties are providing the same resolution however the scale is changed.
Actors
- client
- application
- cloud browser
requirements
- A workable solution is to look at the devicePixelRatio on the window object (window.devicePixelRatio). However this is not how the property is used today. There should be a way how to obtain this information.
accessibility
Provide a mechanism for users to resize the UI, where the UI will accommodate scaling of the text and the interface itself up to 200%, without degradation to the interface.
