1. An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
a heterogeneous computing platform; and
a memory coupled to the heterogeneous computing platform, wherein the memory comprises a plurality of sets of firmware instructions, wherein each of the sets of firmware instructions, upon execution by a respective device among a plurality of devices of the heterogeneous computing platform, enables the respective device to provide a corresponding firmware service, and wherein at least one of the plurality of devices operates as an orchestrator configured to:
receive an indication of a distance between a user and the IHS based, at least in part, upon context or telemetry data;
modify a text setting in a host Operating System (OS) or application executed by the IHS based, at least in part, upon the indication;
determine that at least one of: (a) the distance stays constant for a selected time period, or (b) the user's gaze is directed at a display coupled to the IHS for a selected time period; and
change the modified text setting, at least in part, based upon the determination.
