    <p>I have a series of images within a ViewController.</p> <p>I am "floating" them by transforming their individual layers:</p> <pre><code>img.layer.transform = CATransform3DMakeTranslation(0.0f, 0.0f, myZ); </code></pre> <p>This gives the effect of making the layers float above the screen -- in the Simulator, there would be no visible effect (which is correct).</p> <p>What I want to do is have an effect where moving a device left/right/forward/or back would make it look subtly like the layers are floating. When you tilt the device to the left, it should angle the entire view to the right. This will make it feel like moving the device lets you see around corners -- i.e. it will give a feeling that the images really are floating above the screen, because they would move at different rates (based on their z-index).</p> <p>I have made a test project (<a href="http://pushplay.net/_media/demo/floatdemo/floatdemo.zip">project file here</a>) which has a sample project that demos this.</p> <p>My problem is that I am not a math person, so I am struggling with the best way to simulate the subtle floating effect. Right now, I've got a listener for DeviceMotion, which then does:</p> <pre><code>self.view.layer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DMakeRotation(20.0f * M_PI / 180.0f, 2*motion.attitude.pitch, -2*motion.attitude.roll, 0); </code></pre> <p>This is very close to what I want, but it's not exactly right.</p> <p>I think this effect will be something that could be used in a number of different applications. I am hoping to extend this to something a friend and I are working on with face detection (so it would move the parent view based on the movement of a person's face -- even while they keep the phone/device perfectly still).</p> <p>I realize I will get people answering "just use OpenGL". That's not the answer I need -- unless you post a chunk of code that shows how to integrate it within this project. (I'm not looking for new problems to solve. :-)</p> <p>Again, the full project is here (<a href="http://pushplay.net/_media/demo/floatdemo/floatdemo.zip">iphone floating views</a>) for anyone who would like to see the effect as it is right now. (When this is working, I will leave the full (working) project linked here for posterity.)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
