Abstract
According to embodiments of the invention, methods, and a computer system for configuring navigational controls in a geometric environment are disclosed. The method may include obtaining a data set for geometric representation on a display, forming one or more reference surfaces, calculating a fit score and a confidence score using one or more of the reference surfaces, and configuring the navigational system to a control scheme when a computational operation on the fit score and the confidence score is outside of a threshold value. The control scheme may be a geometric control scheme, a planar control scheme, and a roaming control scheme.
Claims20
A method of controlling a navigational system comprising:
- obtaining a data set for geometric representation on a display, the data set having data points;
- forming one or more reference surfaces, the one or more reference surfaces formed such that the reference surfaces have one or more of the data points as vertices;
- calculating a fit score and a confidence score using one or more of the reference surfaces;
- configuring the navigational system to a control scheme when a computational operation on the fit score and the confidence score is outside of a threshold value.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor;
- an input device;
- an output device;
- and
- memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory is encoded with instructions, and wherein the instructions when executed on the processor comprise:
- obtaining a data set for geometric representation on the output device, the data set having data points;
- forming one or more reference surfaces, the one or more reference surfaces formed such that the reference surfaces have one or more of the data points as vertices;
- calculating a fit score and a confidence score using one or more of the reference surfaces;
- configuring the input device to a control scheme when a computational operation on the fit score and the confidence score is outside of a threshold value.
