Abstract
Method and apparatus for interacting with a three dimensional interface. In the method, a three dimensional interface with at least one virtual object is generated. An interaction zone is defined and generated, enclosing some or all of the object. A stimulus of the interaction zone, e.g. approach/contact with a finger/stylus is defined, and a response to the stimulus is defined, e.g. changes to the object, system actions, feedback, etc. When the stimulus is sensed the response is executed. The apparatus includes a processor that generates a three dimensional interface with at least one virtual object, defines an interaction zone for the object, and defines a stimulus and a response. A display outputs the interface and object. A camera or other sensor detects stimulus of the interaction zone, whereupon the processor generates a response signal. The apparatus may be part of a head mounted display.
