ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method to stabilize a pointer displayed within an output image. The method enables the user to magnify selected areas within the output image. This allows the user to ‘zoom’ in on areas of interest in the output image, and to make accurate selections with the stabilized pointer. Design features of the method enable pixel and sub-pixel accurate pointing, which is not possible with most conventional direct pointing devices. The invention can be worked for 2D and 3D pointers.
