1. A smart device operatively running at least two applications and switching between displaying one of the at least two applications based on the position of the smart device in a three-dimensional space, the smart device comprising:
a first application; a second application different from the first application, the second application running in the background of the smart device; a user interface displaying the first application; a controller communicatively connected to the user interface, the controller having memory for storing the first application and the second application on the smart device; and at least one sensing device communicatively connected to the controller, the at least one sensing device being configured to detect an orientation and a flicking motion of the smart device in the three-dimensional space, wherein controller is configured to associate the first application with at least one of a first orientation and a first flicking motion within the three-dimensional space and to associate the second application with at least one of a second orientation and a second flicking motion within the three-dimensional space and wherein the controller is configured to cause the user interface to switch from displaying the first application to displaying the second application in response to the at least one sensing device detecting the second flicking motion after the second orientation is detected.
