Abstract
A user interface suitable for use in cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs), PC Tablets, as well as laptops, PCs, office equipment, medical equipment, or any other hand-held electronic device, that allows control of the image on the device display by tilting the device to either change the view in perspective, change the magnification, or both, concurrently, by moving the device. Thus, the tilt of the device controls the angle of view of the image, and moving the device perpendicular to the screen controls the magnification.
