I am noticing a lot of possible applications of mobile software is limited due to screen glare from the sun. What are ways a software developer or UI designer can mitigate this, and what are the fundamental hardware problems that need to be addresses and who is working on them?

It is a compounded question, but this is a compounded problem!

Insight appreciated

The higher the contrast in your image, the less of a problem it will be. Beyond that, tough cookie.

The fundamental hardware problem is that surfaces which aren't shiny are translucent or otherwise blurry.

You can manipulate the refractive index but there are trade-offs. Cost, propensity to crack/smudge/scratch/tarnish, etc.

Thinking laterally, if you write a scary videogame, people will want to play it in the dark :-)
