Portable apparatus with a GUI

摘要

A portable device includes: a display screen; a processor; and an input device operable by a user, wherein the processor controls the display screen to display a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of images arranged in a three dimensional (3D) space in one of a depth layout and a curved layout. In the depth layout mode images are displayed arranged such that at least a first image is positioned further away in the 3D space than a second image and each image is positioned upon a two dimensional (2D) surface extending into the 3D space, transverse to the 2D surface at its respective position and facing the plane of the display screen. In the curved layout mode the images are arranged along a curved path within the 3D space forming a coil about an axis which is parallel to or forms an acute angle relative to the plane of the display screen such that at least one image is positioned facing outwards from the coil and at least one image is positioned facing inwards towards the axis such that each image faces the plane of the display screen.
