LinkedIn menu iPhone app

Question

I would like to develop an app with a menu which looks like the ios Linkedin app one. Like this (the left picture)

There is 4 glimpses (miniatures) which are associated to the four principal views. And the miniature always shows the updated state of the view.

I would like to know we can do a menu like this one ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

So why do you put the 4 UIView in an other UIView and not directly on the UIViewController ? And you talked about buttons but there are only UIView in your example ? I wonder if the 4 buttons are on the 4 views and are transparent in order to apply the transformation.

Do you have a code example for the transformation ?

Thanks a lot for your help !
