Several elements are displayed on a computer display. The user is provid ed with a haptic device, for moving a cursor over the display. Distances betwee n the cursor and the various elements are computed; the element with the smallest distance is highlighted on the display. When the user moves the haptic device, the identified element is changed, according to the distance between the cursor and the various elements. The user selects the identified element by actuating a select button. The invention makes it possible for the user to select one of the display ed elements, without having to move the cursor over the element to be selected. No prior knowledge of the shape of the elements is required for carrying out th e selection process.
