Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes sending information to display a visual content item; determining an origin position within the visual content item, wherein the origin position is an initial position in the visual content item from which the visual content item is to be scrolled, and wherein the origin position is determined based on a type of an application associated with the visual content item; receiving an initial tilt measurement of a client computing device; receiving a second tilt measurement of the client computing device; and sending information to scroll the visual content item based on the initial tilt measurement and the second tilt measurement.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- by a computing device, sending information to display a visual content item;
- by the computing device, determining an origin position within the visual content item, wherein the origin position is an initial position in the visual content item from which the visual content item is to be scrolled, and wherein the origin position is determined based on a type of an application associated with the visual content item;
- by the computing device, receiving an initial tilt measurement of a client computing device;
- by the computing device, receiving a second tilt measurement of the client computing device;
- and
- by the computing device, sending information to scroll the visual content item based on the initial tilt measurement and the second tilt measurement.
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
- send information to display a visual content;
- determine an origin position within the visual content item, wherein the origin position is an initial position in the visual content item from which the visual content item is to be scrolled, and wherein the origin position is determined based on a type of an application associated with the visual content item;
- receive an initial tilt measurement of a client computing device;
- receive a second tilt measurement of the client computing device;
- and
- send information to scroll the visual content item based on the initial tilt measurement and the second tilt measurement.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
- send information to display a visual content;
- determine an origin position within the visual content item, wherein the origin position is an initial position in the visual content item from which the visual content item is to be scrolled, and wherein the origin position is determined based on a type of an application associated with the visual content item;
- receive an initial tilt measurement of a client computing device;
- receive a second tilt measurement of the client computing device;
- and
- send information to scroll the visual content item based on the initial tilt measurement and the second tilt measurement.
