Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and computer readable medium for presenting a multilayer image on an electronic device disclosed. Such an electronic device may include a display, a touch sensor, a motion sensor, and a controller. The motion sensor may generate input signals indicative of a spatial movement of the electronic tablet device. The controller may receive the input signals and generate output signals that shift layers of the multilayer image with respect to a reference layer of the multilayer image that remains stationary in order to cause a three dimensional effect that is controlled by spatial movement of the electronic device.

A method for displaying a multilayer image on an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a first presentation of a multilayer image that is based on an associated depth and an associated offset for each layer of the multilayer image;
- adjusting, with the electronic device, the offset for each layer of the multilayer image based upon spatial movement of the electronic device and its associated depth;
- and
- displaying, on the display of the electronic device, a second presentation of the multilayer image that is based on the associated depth and the associated adjusted offset for each layer of the multilayer image.
An apparatus for displaying a multilayer image, the apparatus comprising:
- a display configured to display a multilayer image based on one or more output signals;
- a motion sensor configured to generate one or more input signals indicative of a spatial movement of the apparatus;
- a controller configured to generate one or more output signals that present, on the display, a first presentation of the multilayer image that is based on an associated depth and an associated offset for each layer of the multilayer image, adjust the offset for each layer of the multilayer image based on the one or more motion input signals, and generate one or more output signals that present a second presentation of the multilayer image on the display that is based on the associated depth and the associated adjusted offset for each layer of the multilayer image.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, comprising a plurality of instructions for displaying a multilayer image on an electronic device, that in response to being executed, cause an electronic device to:
- display a first presentation of the multilayer image that is based on an associated depth and an associated offset for each layer of the multilayer image;
- adjust the offset for each layer of the multilayer image based upon spatial movement of the electronic device and its associated depth;
- display a second presentation of a multilayer image that is based on the associated depth and the associated adjusted offset for each layer of the multilayer image.
