1. A method for positioning a viewing device at an optimum viewing position relative to a display for viewing images rendered on the display, the display having a known two-dimensional shape and a known optimum viewing angle, the method comprising:
(a) capturing an image of the display using a camera;
(b) analyzing the image of the display by applying a positioning algorithm to determine a viewing angle corresponding to a position of the camera relative to the display;
(c) displaying a user interface (UI) in connection with the image to indicate the viewing angle;
(d) moving the camera; and
(e) repeating steps (a)-(d) until an indicator of optimum positioning is displayed in the UI, whereby the camera is at an optimum viewing position.
