Abstract
An electronic device and a method of display and interaction in a user interface is provided. The method includes: providing a display region and control region of a user interface; initiating the display of a number of interactive items in the display region; upon receiving a predefined interaction from a pointer, tracking the position or movement of the pointer and dynamically populating the display region with a subset of interactive items based on the position or movement of the pointer. In response to detecting a substantial change of direction of the pointer or in response to the pointer crossing a selection threshold, a selection interaction mode is entered in which a user can individually interact with the interactive items populating the display region.
