Abstract:
User interface (UI) techniques, and more particularly to graphical user interface (GUI) techniques providing 3-dimensional (3-D) renditions. A method of displaying one or more graphical objects, the method being carried out in an electronic device, the device having processing circuitry, memory and a display device, the method comprising: obtaining first image data defining at least one two-dimensional graphical component; performing a transformation operation on the first image data to generate second image data defining, for the or each graphical component, a modified form of the graphical component; using said second image data, displaying the modified form whereby the or each graphical component has the appearance of having a component of dimension perpendicular to the plane of the display device. Disclosed GUIs can be employed by users to interact with electronic devices having a display, in particular but not limited to hand-held devices with small screens.
