Abstract
A method is provided for reducing hand or pointing device occlusions of a display, particularly a touch screen or hover display. Detection of the position of a pointing object and eyes relative to a device display may be used to calculate an offset correction. Shifting a user interface component based on the offset correction may reduce pointing object occlusions of the display. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
