Abstract:
In one embodiment, an electronic device is provided, comprising: at least one non-transitory memory; a touch screen; a camera; and one or more processors in communication with the at least one non-transitory memory, the touch screen, and the camera, wherein the one or more processors execute instructions stored in the non-transitory memory to cause the apparatus to: display, via the touch screen, a first virtual display layer including contents; display, via the touch screen, at least one user interface element; detect, via the touch screen, at least a portion of touch on the least one user interface element; when an aspect of the touch is detected to surpass a threshold, display, via the touch screen, a plurality of markings in a second virtual display layer that appears to have a lesser depth than the first virtual display layer, where at least a portion of the second virtual display layer is at least partially translucent so that at least a portion of the contents of the first virtual display layer is visible through the at least portion of the second virtual display layer; detect, via the touch screen, a touch movement; and during detection of the touch movement, display, via the touch screen, a movement of the markings in the second virtual display layer as a function of the touch movement.
