The Simple Device Orientation (SDO) Sensor Redirection feature can sense changes in the screen orientation of a client device and accordingly display a different view on the device.
SDO Sensor Redirection integrates with your software application on Horizon Agent. If your application uses SimpleOrientationSensor class https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.devices.sensors.simpleorientationsensor, the application can display content based on the current quadrant orientation of the client device.
