ABSTRACT:
A method of selecting a GUI object (118) in a display space (402) using a user controlled pointing device (104) is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of establishing an initial range mapping between the pointing device and the display space, and defining an initial Selected Display Region (SDR) in the display space dependent on the initial range mapping. Then the method involves receiving (304), from the pointing device, a set of coordinates in the initial SDR, updating (306) the range mapping dependent upon the received set of coordinates, and redefining the SDR dependent upon the updated range mapping. The method then determines (308) the presence of any GUI object within the redefined SDR, and if a GUI object is present in the redefined SDR, selecting (310) the GUI object.
