More Information
Summary:A method, apparatus and computer program product is provided for displaying user interface objects on a curved display. As a result of a movement of an object in a curved area of a display, the object may change speed or shape based on a virtual effect of gravity. As such, the objects may display inertia, and change more or less drastically depending on a steepness of a curve of the display. Uses for the gravitational effects include gaming, realistic screen savers, and/or other displays of visual content.
