Abstract

See full text

An image browser alternates between displaying an image grid with less perspective distortion and displaying it with more perspective distortion. The distortion amount is determined by the grid's angle of rotation. If the angle is zero, then the view is perpendicular and has no distortion. In one embodiment, the user manually switches between the less distorted view and the more distorted view. In another embodiment, the switching of views is performed automatically based on whether the image grid is moving or stationary. If the image grid is moving, then it is shown with a more distorted view. If the image grid is stationary, then it is shown with a less distorted view. In yet another embodiment, the switching of views is performed automatically based on the scrolling velocity (i.e., speed and direction). In this embodiment, scrolling and tilting are integrated such that as scrolling velocity changes, tilt angle changes also.
