Curious to see all the new interaction paradigms people come up with now that we have something physical that can sense degrees of freedom.

A dumb one off the top of my head:

When reading a book with both screens open, have the outer display show the cover of the book, and closing and opening the screens together causes a page turn. (Unfortunately also a great way to rapidly wear out the hinge mechanism.)
