Advanced personal electronic devices can have small
form factors. Exemplary personal electronic devices include
but are not imited to tablets and smart phones, Uses of sek
personal electronic devices involve manipulation of user
Interface objects on display sereens which also have small
om factors that complement the design of the personal
‘electronic devices
‘Exemplary manipulations that users ean perform on per-
sonal electronic devices include navigating. « hierarchy,

ing user interfaces, Exemplary user interface objects include
ital images, video, text, icons, contol elements such as
buttons, snd other graphics
Existing methods for manipulating user interface objets
‘on redueed-size personil electronic devices can be inel-
cient. Furher, existing methods generally provide less pre-
cision than is preferable,
SUMMARY,
In some embodiments, techniques for navigating a user
interface on a personal electronics device based on move-
