METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SIMULTANEOUS USER INPUTS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL ANIMATION

摘要

A method for a computer system includes determining a plurality of positions of portions of a hand of a user simultaneously placed upon a user interface device of the computer system, retrieving a set of display icons in response to the plurality of positions of the portions of the user hand, displaying the display icons from the set of display icons on a display relative to the plurality of positions of the portions of the user hand; while displaying the display icons on the display, determining a user selection of a display icon from the display icons, and performing a function in response to the user selection of the display icon.

主权项

1. A method for performing a user-selected operation on a computer system comprising:
displaying, by the computer system, a representation of a three-dimensional object at a first display position on a display of the computer system; determining, by the computer system, a first position of a first indicator of a user placed upon the display; determining, by the computer system, a selection of the three-dimensional object in response to the first position of the first indicator being at the first display position; determining, by the computer system, a second position of a second indicator of the user placed upon the display, wherein the second position is associated with a geometric constraint from a plurality of geometric constraints; performing, by the computer system, a first operation comprising a first manipulation of the three-dimensional object, the first manipulation involving a rotation of the three-dimensional object about the geometric constraint associated with the second position; and displaying, by the computer system, a subsequent representation of the three-dimensional object based on the performance of the first operation.
