Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012099591A1] A three-dimensional display (302) presents a plurality of icons that are associated with a user interface. These icons include at least a first icon (303) presented at a first depth of presentation (304) and at least a second icon (305) presented at a second, different depth of presentation (306). By one approach this first icon is available for interaction by an input component of the user interface while the second icon is unavailable for interaction by the input component of the user interface. The aforementioned first depth of presentation may be substantially coincide with a surface, for example, a touch - sensitive display (302), of the corresponding electronic device (301). So configured, the first icon (which is presently available for selection) appears at a depth that coincides with that surface. This approach can serve to facilitate three-dimensional presentation of an icon based on whether it is available for interaction via an input component of a user interface.
