Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for calculating a virtual touch position that is off the physical touch screen display. A user may provide a first swiping gesture in a main portion of a physical touch screen display, and an extended swiping gesture within a predefined threshold distance of an edge of the physical touch screen display. The extended swiping gesture is a continuation of the first swiping gesture. The virtual touch position may be calculated based on a trajectory of the first swiping gesture and/or the distance of the extended swiping gesture. An extended swiping gesture may continue around the edges to enable calculation of a virtual touch position regardless of size constraints of the physical touch screen display.
