Abstract
A display system for controlling a selector symbol within an image includes, but is not limited to, a display screen that is configured to detect a touch of an operator on a surface of the display screen and that is further configured to display a three-dimensional image. The display system further includes a processor that is operatively coupled to the touch screen. The processor is configured to command the display screen to display a three-dimensional selector symbol within the three-dimensional image, and to command the display screen to move the selector symbol within the three-dimensional image in a manner that corresponds with the touch of the operator.

A display system for controlling a selector symbol within an image, the display system being configured for use with a display screen that is configured to detect a touch of an operator on a surface of the display screen, and that is further configured to display a three-dimensional image, the display system comprising:
- a processor configured to be operatively coupled to the display screen, the processor configured to command the display screen to display a three-dimensional selector symbol within the three-dimensional image, and to command the display screen to move the selector symbol within the three-dimensional image in a manner that corresponds with the touch of the operator, wherein the touch of the operator comprises (1) placement of a single fingertip on a location on the surface of the display screen and (2) pivoting the single fingertip while the fingertip remains on the location;
- wherein the processor is further configured to alter the azimuth and an inclination of the three-dimensional selector symbol in a manner that corresponds with the pivoting of the single fingertip;
- and
- wherein the processor is configured to command the display screen to display the three-dimensional selector symbol to appear to extend from the location of the single fingertip on the surface of the display screen into the three-dimensional image, substantially aligned with the single fingertip.
A display system for controlling a selector symbol within an image, the display system comprising:
- a display screen configured to detect a touch of an operator on a surface of the display screen, and further configured to display a three-dimensional image;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the display screen, the processor configured to:
- command the display screen to display a three-dimensional selector symbol within the three-dimensional image, the three-dimensional selector symbol having a first end displayed on the display screen proximate a first location where the operator has initially touched the surface of the display screen and having a second end displayed on the display screen at a second location spaced apart from the first end,
- command the display screen to display the three-dimensional selector symbol such that it has a body that extends into the three-dimensional image from the first location to the second location, and
- command the display screen to adjust an azimuth and an inclination of the selector symbol within the three-dimensional image in a manner that corresponds with the touch of the operator, wherein the touch of the operator comprises (1) placement of a single fingertip on a location on the surface of the display screen and (2) pivoting the single fingertip while the fingertip remains on the location.
A display system for controlling a selector symbol within an image, the display system comprising:
- a display screen configured to detect a touch of an operator on a surface of the display screen, and further configured to display a three-dimensional image;
- an input unit configured to receive an input of the operator;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the display screen and to the input unit, the processor configured to:
- command the display screen to display a three-dimensional selector symbol within the three-dimensional image, and
- command the display screen to move the selector symbol within the three-dimensional image in a manner that corresponds with the touch of the operator and with the input of the operator, wherein the touch of the operator comprises (1) placement of a single fingertip on a location on the surface of the display screen and (2) pivoting the single fingertip while the fingertip remains on the location, and
- command the display screen to display the three-dimensional selector symbol to appear to extend from the location of the single fingertip on the surface of the display screen into the three-dimensional image, substantially aligned with the single fingertip.
