  • Publication number: 20140145966
    Abstract: An electronic device, computer readable storage medium, and method use head tracking to reduce visible offset for user input at a touch input display. Touch coordinates indicate a location on an outer surface of a touch sensitive screen layer of the touch input display at which a contact interaction is detected. Based on image information from at least one camera and the touch coordinates, a direction of a user's perspective field of view of the location on the touch sensitive screen layer is determined. A location on one of the at least one display layer that visibly matches the location corresponding to the touch coordinates on the touch sensitive screen layer along the direction of a user's perspective field of view is determined. One or more display elements are displayed at the determined location on the one of the at least one display layer.
