1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: displaying, within a first time period, a first graphical element using a plurality of pixels of a display screen, wherein the first graphical element is associated with a first virtual depth with respect to the display screen; acquiring, within the first time period, a representation of a second graphical element loaded for display within a second time period after the first time period using a first portion of the plurality of pixels, wherein the second graphical element is associated with a second virtual depth that is higher than the first virtual depth with respect to the display screen; generating, within the first time period, a third derived graphical element by applying at least one of a first blur process, a first transparency filtering process, or a first color filtering process to the representation of the second graphical element, wherein the third derived graphical element is associated with a third virtual depth that is higher than the first virtual depth and that is lower than the second virtual depth with respect to the display screen; acquiring, within the first time period, a representation of a fourth graphical element loaded for display within the second time period using a second portion of the plurality of pixels, wherein the fourth graphical element is associated with a fourth virtual depth that is higher than the first virtual depth with respect to the display screen; generating, within the first time period, a fifth derived graphical element by applying at least one of a second blur process, a second transparency filtering process, or a second color filtering process to the representation of the fourth graphical element, wherein the fifth derived graphical element is associated with a fifth virtual depth that is higher than the first virtual depth and that is lower than the fourth virtual depth with respect to the display screen; receiving data indicating that the fourth virtual depth is higher than the second virtual depth with respect to the display screen; determining one or more first translation values; determining one or more second translation values that are different from the one or more first translation values, wherein the one or more first translation values and the one or more second translation values are associated with the fourth virtual depth being higher than the second virtual depth with respect to the display screen; and displaying, within the second time period, at least the second graphical element, the third derived graphical element, the fourth graphical element, and the fifth derived graphical element on the display screen, wherein the third derived graphical element is translated from the second graphical element by the one or more first translation values and the fifth derived graphical element is translated from the fourth graphical element by the one or more second translation values.
