Abstract

The invention relates to a processing logic for determining a position of a virtual object on a display configured to: receive from one or more motion sensors motion signals representative of an orientation of a first device and/or a derivative thereof; obtain a first set of data representative of the orientation of the first device based on the motion signals; obtain a second set of data representative of the orientation of the first device based on the motion signals, said second set of data being different from the first set of data; calculate a first candidate position of the virtual object on a display based on the first set of data; calculate a second candidate position of the virtual object on the display based on the second set of data; select one of the first candidate position and the second candidate position as a position of the virtual object on the display.
