Abstract
A method, system, computer software and display for generating and displaying a target image (14) on a multi-layered display (1). The target image (14) includes a graphical object (9) displayed on a first display layer (2) of the multi-layered display (1) and contextual elements (10) displayed on a second display layer (3). The graphical object (9) is provided with a peripheral boundary region (12) composed of contextual elements (10) displayed on the second display layer (3). A projection of the peripheral boundary region (12) on the first display layer (2) demarcates a silhouette (11) on the second display layer (3).
Claims21
A computer-implemented method of processing data, said method comprising:
- generating first data for displaying a first image on a first display screen of a display device, wherein said first image comprises a graphical object;
- and
- generating second data for displaying a second image on a second display screen of said display device, wherein said first and second display screens overlap, wherein said second image comprises a silhouette corresponding to said graphical object, and wherein said second image further comprises at least one contextual element surrounding said silhouette.
A display device comprising:
- a first display screen operable to display a first image comprising a graphical object;
- and
- a second display screen operable to display a second image comprising a silhouette corresponding to said graphical object, wherein said second image further comprises at least one contextual element surrounding said silhouette, and wherein said first and second display screens overlap.
A system comprising a processor and a memory, wherein said memory comprises instructions that when executed by said system implement a method of processing data, said method comprising:
- generating first data for displaying a first image on a first display screen of a display device, wherein said first image comprises a graphical object;
- and
- generating second data for displaying a second image on a second display screen of said display device, wherein said first and second display screens overlap, wherein said second image comprises a silhouette corresponding to said graphical object, and wherein said second image further comprises at least one contextual element surrounding said silhouette, and wherein said silhouette and said graphical object overlap.
