Method and apparatus for multiple mode interface

A device, comprising:

• an input device configured to sense a first constructive movement input representative of a non-translational movement of a body of a user that does not move from a first point to a second point in a physical world environment, wherein the non-translational movement mimics a movement of the body translationally moving from the first point to the second point;
• a processing device coupled to the input device, the processing device configured to:
• execute a translational instruction associated with the first constructive movement input, wherein then translational instruction comprises moving the body in a world space of an augmented reality environment from the first point to the second point, wherein the world space is a portion of the physical world environment being substantially bound by a portion of a physical world environment relative to a head mounted display;
• in response to receiving a first resizing stimulus, execute a first resizing instruction to reduce a size of a portion of the world space as displayed by a head-mounted display by an amount indicated by the first resizing stimulus;
• receive, from the input device, a second constructive movement input;
• and
• execute a second translational instruction associated with the second constructive movement input, wherein the second translational instruction comprises moving the body a second distance that corresponds with a first actual movement of the body in the reduced-size world space.

A system, comprising:

• a head-mounted display configured to display a physical world environment in an augmented reality environment, the physical world having a first size;
• an input device configured to sense a constructive movement input representative of a non-translational movement of a body that does not move from a first point to a second point in the physical world environment, wherein the non-translational movement mimics a movement of the body translationally moving from the first point to the second point;
• a processing device coupled to the input device and the head-mounted display, the processing device configured to:
• in response to receiving a first resizing stimulus, execute a first resizing instruction to reduce a size of a world space from the first size to a second size indicated by the first resizing stimulus, wherein the world space is a portion of the physical world environment being substantially bound by a portion of a physical world environment relative to a head mounted display;
• receive, from the input device, the constructive movement input;
• and
• execute a second translational instruction associated with the constructive translational movement input, wherein the translational instruction comprises moving the body a distance that corresponds with a first actual movement of the body in the reduced-size world space.
