Information is browsed on a display device of a hand-held device naturally and logically essentially in a mirror-like way when the portion of the virtual data object displayed on the display device is moved in the same direction as the hand-held device is tilted. That is, the movements of the portion of the virtual data object displayed on the display device depends on the orientation of the hand-held device. A certain orientation of the hand-held device always displays the same portion of the virtual data object on the display device. The browsing method described above is extremely logical, and the movements and responses to the movements are natural.
