Abstract
A dynamic touch interface in which users are able to flick or scroll within the dynamic touch interface such as a dock or carousel and view the contents of their applications and thus provides a touch friendly environment to a personal computer type operating system (i.e., a keyboard/mouse input type operating system). More specifically, the touch input environment implements dynamic icons such that the icons populate content which is viewed or experienced. For example, if a user launches a favorite band in a music application, the carousel is automatically populated with album art or a picture of the band. The next time the user visits the desktop, the music icon is replaced by an image of the band or artist. Also, in certain embodiments, the icon includes a brief description of the content (i.e., number of songs or albums in folder).
