1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: at a portable electronic device with a touch screen display: displaying a first perspective in a three-dimensional virtual space on the touch screen display, wherein the three-dimensional virtual space includes a plurality of three-dimensional virtual objects; detecting a first finger gesture on a first three-dimensional virtual object in the plurality of three-dimensional objects; and in response to detecting the first finger gesture on the first three-dimensional virtual object, displaying an animated transition from the first perspective to a second perspective in the three-dimensional virtual space on the touch screen display, wherein the animated transition includes enlarging and substantially centering the first three-dimensional virtual object on the touch screen display in the second perspective in the three-dimensional virtual space, wherein the second perspective is different from the first perspective.
