Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method and program for browsing information on a hand-held device having a display is provided. The device includes (1) showing on the display a portion of the page residing around the predefined point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display, (2) generating a mirror line by mirroring the reference line in relation to a line that is perpendicular to the display surface and travels via the reference point in response to tilting of the hand-held device in relation to the spatial initial state, (3) defining a hit point (xn,yn) where the mirror line hits the virtual surface and the page containing information, and (4) showing on the display at least a portion of the page around the hit point, said portion to have a shape similar to the shape of the display, the position of the hit point on the page to correspond to the position of the reference point on the display.
