Abstract:
1. A method performed by a device having a camera and a touch screen display, the method comprising: receiving, from a user, a selection of a mode to cause the device to present, on the touch screen display, simulated reflective icons; identifying, based on receiving the user's selection of the mode, a graphical element being presented on the touch screen display; capturing an image of an area in front of the touch screen display; determining information for distorting the captured image based on the graphical element, the information including a first reflective shape of the graphical element and a second reflective shape, where the second reflective shape corresponds to simulated deformation of the graphical element as a result of the user's touch; distorting the captured image based on the determined information to conform the captured image to simulate a reflection from the first reflective shape; displaying the distorted captured image simulating the reflection from the first reflective shape combined with the graphical element on the touch screen display; receiving a selection, from the user, of the graphical element on the touch screen display; distorting, in response to the receiving the user's selection of the graphical element, the captured image based on the determined information to conform the captured image to simulate a reflection from the second reflective shape; and displaying the captured image simulating the reflection from the second reflective shape combined with the graphical element on the touch screen display.
