ABSTRACT:
A data processing system, software program, and method of operation realistically displays a users model of a device as an object, while providing additional functions which cannot exist in the devices real-world counterparts. The data processing system and software program allow a view or a realistically-rendered object and a function associated with that object to be selectively modified in response to a user input. During operation, a cursor displayed by a display device (138) is used to access a view changing mechanism displayed on the realistically-rendered object. By selectively accessing the view changing mechanism, a user is able to change a view of the realistically-rendered object from a base function view to a full function view.
