HOVER-BASED INTERACTION WITH RENDERED CONTENT

摘要

Disclosed are techniques and systems for enabling “hover-based” interaction with content that is rendered on a display of a viewing device. A process may include rendering content on a display, detecting an object hovering in front of a front surface of the display, and in response to detecting the object, determining a location on the front surface of the display corresponding to a position of the object. The determined location on the front surface of the display may then be used to determine a portion of the content that is rendered at the location or within a threshold distance from the location, and a magnified window of the portion of the content may then be displayed in a region of the display. The portion of the content within the magnified window may be actionable by responding to user input when the user input is provided within the magnified window.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
rendering content on a display; detecting an object in front of, but not in contact with, a front surface of the display; determining, at least partly in response to the detecting the object, a location on the front surface of the display that is spaced a shortest distance from the object relative to distances from the object to other locations on the front surface of the display; determining a portion of the content that is rendered at the location or within a threshold distance from the location; and displaying, in a region of the display, a magnified window of the portion of the content.
