Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a user device, a first touch gesture at a display of the user device visually displaying a virtual object; defining, by the user device, an anchor point of the virtual object visually displayed on the display based on the first touch gesture; receiving, by the user device, a second touch gesture at the display; determining, by the user device, an anchor area and a scrolling area based on the anchor point and the second touch gesture; defining, by the user device, a first layer corresponding to the anchor area and a second layer corresponding to the scrolling area; and stacking, by the user device, the first layer over the second layer.
