Abstract

See full text

A method performed by a user interface system is disclosed for adapting a graphic visualization of a virtual element on a display to render a corresponding fictitious physical element. The user interface system determines surrounding light characteristics of surrounding light associated with the display, and determines light adjusted characteristics of the virtual element based on the surrounding light characteristics. The user interface system adapts the graphic visualization based on the light adjusted characteristics, such that the graphic visualization resembles the fictitious physical element should the fictitious physical element have been subjected to the surrounding light. By considering surrounding light conditions prior to adapting the graphic visualization, the graphic visualization may change appearance depending on surrounding light conditions. The rendering may accordingly change dynamically when the surrounding light conditions change, similar to the appearance of true physical elements, thus providing a more realistic appearance of the graphic visualization.
