Abstract
A method of controlling a virtual camera comprising displaying, when a device is in a first orientation, a view of a scene on the device. A location in the scene is determined while the device is in the first orientation, based on user input detected on the device. Controls for the virtual camera on the device are configured to control the virtual camera in response to detecting that an orientation of the device has changed from the first orientation to a second orientation, the configuration of the controls being based on the determined location. Commands for the configured controls are received to control the virtual camera.
