Scroll focus

Abstract:

Nesting information indicative of a nested arrangement of a set of scrollable areas within an environment is obtained. Focus information indicative of which of the set of scrollable areas is in focus within the environment is obtained. A visualization scheme is applied to each of the set of scrollable areas other than the scrollable area in focus. The visualization scheme adjusts at least one display property of each other scrollable area by each of a function of a relative position of each other scrollable area relative to the scrollable area in focus within the nested arrangement and a function of a relative distance of each other scrollable area from the scrollable area in focus.
