+# 1.3.4 Orientation
+
+- Level: AA
+- Guideline: 1.3 Adaptable
+- Principle: 1 Perceivable
+
+## What it is
+
+Content does not restrict its view and operation to a single display orientation, such as portrait or landscape, unless a specific display orientation is essential.
+
+## How to test
+
+- Check: Content does not restrict its view and operation to a single display orientation, such as portrait or landscape, unless a specific display orientation is essential.
+- Use the sufficient techniques below as acceptable methods when applicable.
+- Confirm none of the common failures apply.
+
+## Sufficient techniques (W3C)
+
+- G214: Using a control to allow access to content in different orientations which is otherwise restricted
+
+## Common failures (W3C)
+
+- F97: Failure due to locking the orientation to landscape or portrait view
+- F100: Failure of Success Criterion 1.3.4 due to showing a message asking to reorient device
+
+## Notes
+
+- Note: Examples where a particular display orientation may be essential are a bank check, a piano application, slides for a projector or television, or virtual reality content where content is not necessarily restricted to landscape or portrait display orientation.
