Enhanced User Interface Systems and Methods for Electronic Devices

Abstract

An electronic device includes a display, a user interface, and one or more motion or other sensors. One or more control circuits, operable with the display and the user interface, detect an application operating on the electronic device. The application can be to receive two-dimensional user input along a display graphics window generated by the application. The control circuit(s) can then present, on the display, a three-dimensional appearance of at least a portion of the display graphics window, and receive, with the user interface, one of a three-dimensional input or a gesture input corresponding to the three-dimensional appearance of the at least a portion of the display graphics window. The control circuit(s) can then translate the three-dimensional input or gesture input to a two-dimensional input for the display graphics window recognizable by the application, and can communicate the two-dimensional input to the application.
