Abstract:
1. A method for providing visual feedback to a user indicating a touch selection of an element in a graphical user interface on a touch-sensitive display, the element rotatable upon receiving the touch selection, the graphical user interface being displayed by a rendering engine program having a render camera with an axis of projection intersecting a display point of reference, comprising: displaying the element in a first orientation on the display; establishing a rotation scaling factor that is based on at least a distance between an element point of reference and the display point of reference, wherein a location of the element point of reference and a location of the display point of reference are both independent of a location of the touch selection of the element, and the rotation scaling factor is independent of the location of the touch selection of the element; determining a rotation amount of the element based on at least the rotation scaling factor; receiving the touch selection of the element via the user touching a surface of the display; rotating the element by the rotation amount to a second orientation; and displaying the element in the second orientation on the display.
