Abstract
Methods and devices for providing a user-interface are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising receiving data corresponding to a first position of a wearable computing device and responsively causing the wearable computing device to provide a user-interface comprising a view region and a menu. The method further comprises receiving movement data corresponding to an upward movement of the wearable computing device to a second position above the first position and, based on the movement data, making a first determination that the upward movement has an upward angular velocity along an upward direction. The method further includes making a second determination that the upward angular velocity exceeds a threshold upward angular velocity and, responsive to the first and second determinations, causing the wearable computing device to move the menu such that the menu becomes more visible in the view region.
