Terminal with virtual space interface and method of controlling virtual space interface

A mobile computing device, comprising:

• a controller configured to determine a three-dimensional virtual space comprising a virtual x-axis, a virtual y-axis, and a virtual z-axis;
• a display configured to display at least a first portion of the three-dimensional virtual space;
• a touch panel comprising a plurality of sensors, wherein each sensor is configured to sense a movement of the mobile computing device about an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis in real space;
• the controller further configured to determine a change in position in real space of the mobile computing device about an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis based upon the sensed movement;
• the controller further configured to determine whether the change in position is within a predefined boundary of real space;
• and
• the controller further configured to determine a viewing perspective based on coordinates about the virtual x-axis, the virtual y-axis, and the virtual z-axis of a second portion of the three-dimensional virtual space corresponding to the determined change in position of the mobile computing device about the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis.

A computer program product for displaying a virtual space on a mobile user interface of a mobile computing device, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage device, and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage device, to:

• determine a three-dimensional virtual space comprising a virtual x-axis, a virtual y-axis, and a virtual z-axis;
• generate a display of at least a first portion of the three-dimensional virtual space;
• sense a movement of the mobile computing device about an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis in real space;
• determine a change in position about the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis in real space of the mobile computing device based upon the sensed movement;
• determine whether the change in position is within a predefined boundary of real space;
• and
• determine a viewing perspective of a second portion of the three-dimensional virtual space based on coordinates about the virtual x-axis, the virtual y-axis, and the virtual z-axis based upon the determined change in position of the mobile computing device about the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis.
