PHYSICAL OBJECT FOR INTUITIVE NAVIGATION IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE

摘要

A computer-implemented method for manipulating graphics objects within a display viewed by an end-user is disclosed. The method involves: receiving motion information generated in response to the end-user moving an object that is external to the display; determining at least one zone of motion in which the end-user moves the object; determining a first motion type associated with the movement of the object within the at least one zone of motion; and based on the at least one zone of motion and the first motion type, determining at least one change to a viewpoint associated with one or more graphics objects displayed to the end-user within the display. The at least one change to the viewpoint causes an alteration in how the one or more graphics objects are displayed to the end-user within the display.

1. A computer-implemented method for manipulating graphics objects within a display viewed by an end-user, the method comprising:
capturing motion data associated with the end-user moving an inanimate object that is external to the display within a plurality of zones of motion; determining a zone of motion in the plurality of zones of motion in which the end-user moves the inanimate object; determining a first motion type associated with the movement of the inanimate object within the zone of motion; and based on the zone of motion and the first motion type, determining at least one change to a viewpoint associated with one or more graphics objects displayed to the end-user within the display, wherein the at least one change to the viewpoint causes an alteration in how the one or more graphics objects are displayed to the end-user within the display.
