Abstract:
An approach is provided for creating a virtual workspace among devices based, at least in part, on location information. The virtual workspace corresponds to an application or a service common to the devices. Monitoring of the movement of one or more of the devices causes manipulation of the virtual workspace, the application, the service, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on the movement. Example applications and services include media editing, media playback, image processing, social networking, and social control functionality.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for sharing media in a multi-device environment. A group of devices for sharing one or more media files is determined. A shared media manager causes joining of one or more displays of the devices. The shared media manager then determines to generate a common user interface for presenting the one or more media files on the joined one or more displays.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, computer program and user interface wherein the method comprises detecting a user input wherein the user input comprises deforming at least a portion of a housing of an apparatus; and in response to detecting the user input, varying the amount of content displayed on a display, in dependence upon the deformation made to the housing of the apparatus.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for presenting a global view of content. A content mapping platform determines a viewing location of a device with respect to a user interface, wherein the user interface depicts a three-dimensional object in which a surface closest to the viewing location is transparent to show, at least in part, an opposite surface of the three-dimensional object. Further, the content mapping platform then determines at least one target location associated with at least one content item. Furthermore, the content mapping platform causes, at least in part, a rendering of the at least one content item on the opposite surface of the three-dimensional object based, at least in part, on the at least one target location.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for presenting a global view of content. A content mapping platform receives an access address of content, the content including location information. The content mapping platform then determines availability information of the content by causing, at least in part, detection of the content at the access address and causing, at least in part, presentation of the content on a user interface of a user device indicating the location information based on the availability information of the content.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, computer program and user interface wherein the method includes displaying, on a display of an apparatus, a first plurality of content items, over a first period of time, in response to the apparatus being positioned in a first position; wherein during the first period of time a first subset of the first plurality of content items is removed from the display and a second subset of the first plurality of content items is added to the display; and displaying a second plurality of content items, over a second period of time, in response to an apparatus being positioned in a second position; wherein during the second period of time a first subset of the second plurality of content items is removed from the display and a second subset of the second plurality of content items is added to the display.

Abstract:
It is inter alia disclosed to check whether an audio signal captured from an environment of the apparatus comprises arriving sound from an audio source of interest, and to provide a direction identifier being indicative on the direction of the arriving sound from the audio source of interest via a user interface when said check yields a positive result.
