1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • receiving first image data captured using one or more imaging sensors associated with an electronic device;

    analyzing the first image data to determine a first relative orientation between the electronic device and at least a first portion of an object represented in the first image data;

    displaying a plurality of selectable elements on a display element associated with the electronic device;

    receiving second image data captured using the one or more imaging sensors;

    analyzing the second image data to determine a second relative orientation between the electronic device and at least a second portion of the object represented in the second image data;

    determining a first rate of a first change in orientation between the first relative orientation and the second relative orientation;

    displaying a first movement of a selection element to a first selectable element of the plurality of selectable elements on the display element such that a first direction of the first movement corresponds to the first change in orientation and a second rate of the first movement corresponds to the first rate of the first change in orientation;

    receiving third image data captured using the one or more imaging sensors;

    analyzing the third image data to determine a third relative orientation between the electronic device and at least a third portion of the object represented in the third image data;

    determining a third rate of a second change in orientation between the second relative orientation and the third relative orientation;

    displaying a second movement of the selection element to a second selectable element of the plurality of selectable elements on the display element such that a second direction of the second movement corresponds to the second change in orientation and a fourth rate of the second movement corresponds to the third rate of the second change in orientation;

    receiving a selection of the second selectable element; and

    performing an action on the electronic device associated with the selection of the second selectable element.
