1. A method performed for changing a facing direction of a graphic object presented on a display, comprising:
providing a first option to change the facing direction of the graphic object based on a facing direction of a user;
providing a second option to change the facing direction of the graphic object based on a facing direction of an electronic device;
when the first option is selected, detecting the facing direction of the user, wherein the facing direction of the user is a direction that a body part of the user faces or points at; and
in response to detecting that the facing direction of the user changes clockwise from a first direction to a second direction and the second direction corresponds to a first angle with respect to a first coordinate system, changing the facing direction of the graphic object presented on the display clockwise from a previous direction to a first adjusted direction, wherein the first adjusted direction corresponds to a second angle with respect to a second coordinate system, the first angle and the second angle have a same value or similar values, and the graphic object faces in the facing direction of the graphic object on the display.
