Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in order to generate a visual indication to a user of a point of interest outside of the user's view. In the context of a method, identifying a point of interest outside of a user's view is identified during display of an image in a first orientation. The method also includes causing at least a portion of the image to be repositioned, such as by being tilted, to provide a visual indication to the user of a point of interest outside of the user's view. After repositioning at least the portion of the image, the method further includes causing at least the portion of the image to return to the first orientation.
