Abstract

Movement of a user interface (UI) element may be controlled through a magnet based physics model that controls movement of the UI element as if it were under a magnetic force. For a UI element that appears and disappears through device gestures, such as tilts, etc., the UI element may be controlled by one mimicked magnetic force that keeps it hidden and another mimicked magnetic force that keeps it visible, thus allowing the user to control the UI element with intuitive physical gestures using familiar physics-based magnetic behavior.
