<p>The present invention is a system that allows a number of 3D volumetric display (6042) or output configurations to interact with a number of different input configurations. The user interacts via the input configurations, such as by moving a digitizing stylus (6044) on the sensing grid formed on a dome enclosure surface. The present invention is a system that manages a volumetric display (6042) using volume windows. When initiated by an application a volume window is assigned to the application in a volume window data structure. The present invention is a system that places 2D user interface widgets in optimal positions in a 3D volumetric display (6042) where they can be easily used based on the knowlege user have about traditional 2D display systems. Virtual 2D widgets are mapped to volumetric voxels of the 3D display system. The present invention is a widget display system for a volumetric or true three-dimensional (3D) display that provides a volumetric or omni-viewable widget that can be viewed and interacted with from any location around the volumetric display. The present invention is a system that allows a user to physically rotate a 3D volumetric display (6042) enclosure with a corresponding rotation of the display contents. The present invention is a system that creates a volumetric display (6042) and a user controllable volumetric pointer within the volumetric display. The user designates an input position and the system maps the input position to a 3D cursor position (6041) within the volumetric display (6042).</p> |
