Abstract
In a method for displaying a three dimensional interface on an electronic device, a three dimensional user interface control with three dimensional effects is displayed on a display of the electronic device, the three dimensional effects based at least in part on a position of a user relative to the display. The position of the user relative to the display is tracked. Responsive to detecting a change in the position of the user relative to the display, the three dimensional effects of the three dimensional user interface control are dynamically changed based at least in part on the change in the position of the user relative to the display.
Claims20
A method for displaying a three dimensional interface on an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying a three dimensional user interface control with three dimensional effects on a display of the electronic device, the three dimensional effects based at least in part on a position of a user relative to the display;
- tracking the position of the user relative to the display;
- and
- responsive to detecting a change in the position of the user relative to the display, dynamically changing the three dimensional effects of the three dimensional user interface control based at least in part on the change in the position of the user relative to the display.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- display a three dimensional user interface control with three dimensional effects on the display of the electronic device, the three dimensional effects based at least in part on a position of a user relative to the display;
- track the position of the user relative to the display;
- and
- dynamically change the three dimensional effects of the three dimensional user interface control based at least in part on a change in the position of the user relative to the display in response to detecting the change in the position of the user relative to the display.
A non-transitory computer-usable storage medium having instructions embodied therein that when executed by a processor cause a computer system to perform a method for displaying a three dimensional interface on an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying a three dimensional user interface control with three dimensional effects on a display of the electronic device, the three dimensional effects based at least in part on a position of a user relative to the display;
- tracking the position of the user relative to the display;
- and
- responsive to detecting a change in the position of the user relative to the display, dynamically changing the three dimensional effects of the three dimensional user interface control based at least in part on the change in the position of the user relative to the display.
