1. A computing device, comprising:

  • a processor;

    a multi-touch display; and

    memory comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor todetect a touch of a first physical object on the display;

    detect a touch of a second physical object on the display;

    display on the display a virtual object associated with the first physical object in a first position relative to the first physical object;

    detect a decrease in a magnitude of a relative distance between the first physical object on the display and the second physical object on the display; and

    in response to the decrease in the magnitude of the relative distance between the first physical object and the second physical object, move the virtual object to a second position relative to the first object that increases a distance between the virtual object and the second physical object.
