Summary:A head-mounted virtual reality (VR) viewer includes a housing to removably incorporate a portable user device having a touchscreen associated with a display panel, and includes a set of conductive contacts positioned in the housing so as to trigger corresponding touch events at the touchscreen of the portable user device when incorporated at the housing. The portable user device is to detect a location on the touchscreen for each touch event triggered by a conductive contact, determine an orientation of the display panel relative to the housing based on the one or more detected locations of touch events, and configure at least one display operation of the portable user device based on the determined orientation.
