and computing hardware arranged in one or more of the peripheral elements, including at least one processor, memory, and display controller circuitry, the computing hardware being operatively coupled to each of the electronic displays; wherein the computing hardware is operative to implement a graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates dynamic user interaction with visual-narrative content such that the visual-narrative content is displayed on the plurality of electronic displays and visually modified in response to movement of the peripheral elements. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The transformable-display device of claim 1, wherein the peripheral elements are movable about the central body by rotation. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The transformable-display device of claim 1, wherein the visual-narrative content is visually modified in response to movement of the peripheral elements to achieve a specific device configuration state. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The transformable-display device of claim 3, wherein the visual-narrative content is visually modified in response to additional criteria including passage of time following movement of the peripheral elements. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The transformable-display device of claim 1, wherein the visual-narrative content is visually modified by variation of image quality. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The transformable-display device of claim 1, wherein the visual-narrative content is visually modified by addition of content. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The transformable-display device of claim 1, wherein the visual-narrative content is visually modified by addition of animation. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The transformable-display device of claim 1, wherein the visual-narrative content is visually modified by addition of text. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The transformable-display device of claim 1, wherein the visual-narrative content is visually modified by playing of a video clip. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The transformable-display device of claim 1, wherein the visual-narrative content is visually modified by degrading a baseline image at a first time, and by enhancing the baseline image at a second time. ### Claim 11 A method for implementing a graphical user interface (GUI) in a transformable-display device having multiple display screens movable relative to one another, the method comprising: initially displaying a panel of interest, the panel of interest including a plurality of panel sections spanning a corresponding plurality of the display screens, wherein the initially displaying of the panel of interest includes displaying the panel sections in a fragmented configuration on non-adjacent display screens; testing whether, through movement of the display screens, the initially-displayed sections of the panel of interest are aligned to form a contiguous image across adjacent display screens; and in response to a result of the testing being indicative of successful alignment of the panel of interest, updating the displaying of the panel of interest with at least one image enhancement. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the initially displaying of the panel of interest comprises displaying the sections of the panel of interest with a baseline quality, and wherein the method further comprises displaying other content on other display screens of the transformable-display device with degraded quality. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein updating the displaying of the panel of interest with at least one image enhancement includes adding content to at least a portion of the panel of interest. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein updating the displaying of the panel of interest with at least one image enhancement includes adding text to at least a portion of the panel of interest. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein updating the displaying of the panel of interest with at least one image enhancement includes adding an animation to a portion of the panel of interest. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising: in response to a result of the testing being indicative of successful alignment of the panel of interest, updating the displaying of the panel of interest with at least one image degradation after a predefined time duration. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein updating the displaying of the panel of interest with at least one image degradation includes de-saturating the displayed panel of interest. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein updating the displaying of the panel of interest with at least one image degradation includes obfuscating the displayed panel of interest. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein updating the displaying of the panel of interest with at least one image enhancement includes enhancing image quality of the panel of interest. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19) At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed on at least one processor of a transformable-display device having multiple display screens movable relative to one another, cause the device to implement a graphical user interface (GUI) by implementing the method according to any one of claims 11-19.
