Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for improving a user experience during viewport scrolling is herein disclosed. Rendering and drawing of a viewport is performed for a destination viewport based on a viewport scroll vector calculated from a user scroll input at a display device. The destination viewport is rendered before viewports between a starting viewport and the destination viewport so that there is no lag in rendering when the scrolling action reaches the destination viewport. The compromise is that intermediate viewports may be rendered based on a thumbnail image in low resolution, but since these low-resolution portions of the webpage are viewed briefly as the webpage scrolls to the destination viewport, a user is unlikely to notice the reduced resolution.
