An approach is provided for rendering items in a user interface. The approach may, for instance, include processing a current orientation mode of a device, a detected attitude change of the device, and an attitude change threshold to determine a new orientation mode for the device. In an instance when the attitude change threshold is satisfied, then switching to the new orientation mode and in an instance when the new orientation mode is a landscape orientation mode, then causing to present navigation information in an augmented reality display.

Method and apparatus for rendering items in a user interface

An approach is provided for rendering items in a user interface. The approach may, for instance, include utilizing a current orientation mode to determine one or more current orientation angles of a device prior to an attitude change, determining whether the attitude change from the determined one or more current orientation angles satisfies an attitude change threshold to switch to another orientation mode, wherein the another orientation mode is one of a landscape, portrait or flat orientation mode, and in an instance in which the determined attitude change satisfies the attitude change threshold, causing, at least in part, a rendering of one or more representations of one or more items in a user interface of the device based on the another orientation mode.

An approach is provided for rendering items in a user interface. The approach may, for instance, include: a pre-fetching and a caching of item information associated with one or more items for one or more determined categories based on location information associated with the device; a processing of a detected attitude change associated with the device and of an attitude change threshold to determine an intended orientation mode for the device; a modification of one or more representations, of one or more items, that are within a region, of a user interface, associated with a user interface object; a grouping, a de-overlapping, or a combination thereof of the one or more representations based on an overlapping of one or more rendering locations, of the one or more representations, in a three-dimensional model space.
