Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer program product are described that provide a visual transition from an origin screen to a destination screen by applying a graphical effect to the origin screen based on a user input that is received. The graphical effect includes a translation aspect and a rotational aspect. The rotational aspect may have an angle of rotation that is defined based on characteristics of the input received, such as an initial or instantaneous position of receipt of the input or a speed of movement of the input. Thus, the graphical effect simulates a physical reaction of the origin screen to the input (for example, giving the appearance that the origin screen is a physical object that is reacting to the user input as an applied force in the real world).
