Three Dimensional Object Manipulation Through A Flexible Display Device

摘要

Manipulating a 3D object displayed on a display device having a plurality of sensors for sensing touching and distortion of the display device and a computer coupled to the plurality of sensors. The computer detects a selection of a specified area of the digital representation of a 3D object displayed on the display device through the plurality of sensors, determines X and Y coordinates of the selected specified area of the digital representation, aligns the axes of the display device with the X and Y coordinates of the selected specified area, receives a rotation speed from the user; calculates a virtual centrifugal force associated with the sensed rotation speed, applies the virtual centrifugal force as a distortion to the selected specified area of the 3D object; and re-renders the 3D object on the display device.

1. A method for manipulating a three dimensional object displayed on a display device having a plurality of sensors for sensing touching and distortion of the display device and a computer coupled to the plurality of sensors, the method comprising the steps of:
the computer detecting a selection of a specified area of the digital representation of a three dimensional object displayed on the display device through the plurality of sensors; the computer determining X and Y coordinates of the selected specified area of the digital representation; the computer aligning the axes of the display device with the X and Y coordinates of the selected specified area; the computer receiving a rotation speed from a user; the computer calculating a virtual centrifugal force associated with the received rotation speed; the computer applying the virtual centrifugal force as a distortion to the selected specified area of the three dimensional object; and the computer re-rendering the three dimensional object on the display device.
