Abstract
Computer-implemented methods for visually scrolling through a stack of items displayed on a device by tilting the device are provided. In one aspect, a method includes determining a neutral reference point for a device, and receiving input indicating a tilting motion from the neutral reference point encountered by the device. The method also includes determining an angular displacement value of the device and a bias factor based on the tilting motion. The angular displacement value is indicative of an angular displacement of the device based on the tilting motion. The method also includes visually scrolling through the stack of items based on the angular displacement value and the bias factor. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
