METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS

摘要

A method, apparatus, system, and computer program are provided for tracking a pointer outside of a viewable window and controlling a display inside the viewable window based on the pointer's location. A direction vector is computed using the pointer position external to the viewable window and a base position in the window. Animation is rendered in novel ways using the direction vector, and interaction is achieved with the pointer without the pointer having to be within the confines of the viewable window.
