<p>A method of providing user interaction with a computer representation of a simulated object, where the user can control the object in three dimensions. The method can provide for two distinct states: a "holding" state, and a "released" state. The holding state roughly corresponds to the user holding the simulated object (although other metaphors such as holding a spring attached to the object, or controlling the object at a distance can also be suitable). The released state roughly corresponds to the user not holding the object. A simple example of the two states can include the holding, then throwing of a ball. While in the holding state, the method provides force feedback to the user representation of forces that the user might experience if the user were holding an actual object. The forces are not applied when in the released state.</p> |
